The document discusses issues around private sector engagement in REDD+ projects, including rights to carbon credits and benefit sharing with local communities. It summarizes a database of 115 REDD+ demonstration projects. Many projects do not fully address land tenure rights or ensure transparent benefit sharing with communities. While private sector participation is important for financing REDD+, projects need more transparency and to prioritize free, prior, and informed consent of local stakeholders to have sustainable, long-term impacts.
