Payment for performance - Key lessons and challenges for REDD+
The purpose of this session is to discuss principles and practicalities of payment-for-performance at global, national, and sub-national scales. The session is designed to be a “working level” follow-up to the plenary session on negotiations and finance. Key questions to be addressed include: What should REDD+ pay for, to whom and how? What are the performance criteria? What are key lessons for design of performance-based mechanisms that emerge from early REDD+ experience and experience in other sectors?

How should deforestation-related risk be managed in financial decision-making?
This session will explore the current practice and potential future roles to be played by the public and private financial sectors in influencing the REDD+ agenda, and in particular, now financiers are incorporating risk associated with deforestation. These include material risks, such as the risk of business disruption due to conflict, and reputational risks due to illegality and social and environmental impacts. Key questions would include: How are financiers of forest-related economic activity currently assessing deforestation-related risk? What information do investors need to accurately assess risk? How can financiers exercise positive influence over corporate practices and government policies?
