    One of the main issues regarding the implementation of REDD+ in Latin America has been the growing concern that such projects may infringe upon the rights and negatively affect the livelihoods of forest-dependent communities.

Such is the case in Ecuador, where indigenous opposition to REDD+ represents a considerable obstacle in the creation of a national strategy since more than 60% of the country’s remaining forest cover is on indigenous land or under indigenous occupation.

En términos fiscales constituye un pasivo público contingente que afectará las finanzas públicas de los gobiernos por varias generaciones. Se estima que para 2030 Centroamérica aún producirá menos de 0,5% de las emisiones de los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) del planeta1 , pero al mismo tiempo ya es una de las regiones más vulnerables ante los embates del cambio climático.
