The core idea of the United Nations' Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) initiative consists in the remittance of payments to developing countries and landholders for their successful maintenance of forest cover. While REDD activities may support livelihoods and contribute to sustainable development, the program also risks neglecting the rights and interests of forest dwellers, as well as diverting potential benefits away from these stakeholders. Any future REDD regime thus needs to feature social safeguards. This article outlines possible policy options for rendering such safeguards operational. They essentially consist of a variety of control mechanisms to ensure that governments, in meeting their eventual international REDD commitments, also comply with accepted principles and criteria protecting the rights and interests of indigenous peoples and local communities. In demonstrating the different operational models, the article distinguishes between reporting and compliance procedures, the creation and expansion of new institutions, the establishment of complaint and redress mechanisms, certification schemes, and the incorporation of performance criteria in financing arrangements. It illustrates and reviews their operation in practice via short cases studies, then offers some conclusions on their potential capacity to shape effective procedural social safeguards in REDD. While an accumulation of elements of different approaches is more likely to result in a robust mechanism, on the ground, the participation of affected rights-holders at different stages remains crucial to develop locally and culturally adequate models.

REDD+ is one of the leading near-term options for global climate change mitigation. More than 300 subnational REDD+ initiatives have been launched across the tropics, responding to both the call for demonstration activities in the Bali Action Plan and the market for voluntary carbon offset credits.

Results-based financing of REDD+ is conditional on the implementation of national Safeguard Information Systems (SIS) to address social and environmental criteria that go beyond carbon. The briefs in this packet discuss the challenges of operationalizing safeguards from various perspectives governance, benefit sharing, tenure, gender, biodiversity, technical monitoring and highlight opportunities and strategies for dealing with these challenges.

Developing low-cost, rigorous and sustainable systems for the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of national or subnational social safeguards presents a major challenge to governments, policy makers, REDD+ implementers and other key stakeholders.

Large-scale development projects oftentimes end up creating negative impacts that affect vulnerable populations with particular intensity. Projects likely to displace families from their homes, degrade the living conditions of indigenous peoples or intensify social conflicts at local levels are not uncommon. Social safeguards are intended to prevent these and other unintended impacts, and when the impacts cannot be averted, to develop appropriate measures to mitigate them. However, the practical implementation of social safeguards is plagued with a series of structural problems. The collection of stories from the field presented in this book illustrates the principles and application of social safeguards in the context of projects funded by multilateral banks, identifying key challenges in their implementation and exploring paths to overcome those limitations.

This study focuses on seven social safeguards relevant to REDD+. The existence of these social safeguards is examined in Mexico's watershed management program in La Sierra Madre and La Costa of Chiapas. The watershed management program is another Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme similar to REDD+. Questionnaires and interviews were used to conduct primary research with participants of the watershed management program. Upon the examination of the collected data the safeguards were analyzed on their sufficiency for REDD+. It could be observed that some social safeguards are in place, however, none of them sufficiently for REDD+. In regards to implementation of REDD+ the most challenging social safeguard will be the concept of "free, prior and informed consent." This holds true as long as REDD+ will be implemented nationally. If that will be the case the government would have to convince locals across the country to participate in REDD+, including those that already announced their opposition in the Declaration of Patihuitz. Without legitimization there will be little participation and commitment on the side of local people, which is crucial to make REDD+ work.
