This report explains why ignoring key lessons from initiatives to control illegal logging (such as the EU's Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade Action Plan (FLEGT) will lead REDD to a dead-end.
It builds on FERN's nearly ten years of work aimed at improving forest governance in close co-operation with partners in the South. Over the past five years, significant progress has been made. Whilst it is still early days for both EU FLEGT and REDD+, unfortunately indications are that REDD+ is undermining any advances made so far with FLEGT.
