Abstract: REDD+, when it officially became part of the international climate agenda in 2007, was an idea about payment to countries and projects for reducing emission from forests, with funding primarily from carbon markets. REDD+ has since become multi-objective; the policy focus has changed from payments for environmental services (PES) to broader policies, and international funding is mainly coming from development aid budgets. This 'aidification' of REDD+ has made it similar to previous efforts of conditional, result-based, or performance-based aid (PBA).
