In this second edition of the REDD+ Corner we have produced articles in response to the general interest from our first edition on the issue of REDD+ and Agriculture. We have an article further exploring the links between REDD+ and Agriculture and introduce one of our projects exploring this link in the context of mangrove/shrimp areas. We also provide feedback and thoughts on some of the international workshops we attended in March on Safeguards; receive an update on progress in the Congo Basin Carbon Fund; as well as the regular piece from the LEAF project, describing the technical trainings which were carried out by our partner Winrock International in the Southeast Asia region.
Enjoy reading!
