Linking requirements with capabilities for deforestation monitoring in the context of the UNFCCC-REDD process (2007, background): “A basic underpinning requirement to support efforts for reducing deforestation is the systematic long-term observation of forests and other land cover characteristics and changes (Santilli et al 2005).”
Monitoring and estimating tropical forest carbon stocks: making REDD a reality (2007, background): “Despite the importance of avoiding deforestation and associated emissions, developing countries have had few economic or policy incentives to reduce emissions from landuse change (Santilli et al 2005).”
An incentive mechanism for reducing emissions from conversion of intact and non-intact forests (2007, background): “Tropical deforestation is an important issue in the debate on global carbon cycle and climate change (Prentice et al. 2001; Houghton 2005; Santilli et al. 2005).”
The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region (2009, background): “Our review is written with the assumption that REDD will eventually compensate nation-wide reductions in carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, as originally conceived (Santilli et al., 2005), because of the risk of ‘leakage’ from subnational programs.”
Effects of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) on Deforestation and Poverty in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review (2014, background): “1.4 WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS REVIEW While the environmental science is clear in characterizing the potential gains from forest conservation (Santilli et al., 2005; Gullison et al., 2007), it remains for social scientists to provide insights into how institutions and incentives may be…”
The Architecture of Proposed REDD Schemes After Bali: Facing Critical Choices (2008, background): “Below is a possible situation: Persson and Azar (2007:1290) noticed, in reference to the so-called “Compensated Reduction” proposal (Santilli et al. 2005), that “countries that historically have had low rates of deforestation (e.g., Peru, Bolivia) could be given targets above recent deforestation…”
Trade-offs, co-benefits and safeguards: Current debates on the breadth of REDD+. (2012, background): “Many scholars and decision makers hope REDD+ will realize these ‘win-win’ solutions [3 ,4], among others by ‘automatically’ supporting biodiversity conservation efforts [5,6].”
“Carbon rights”, REDD+ and payments for environmental services (2014, background): “In: Tropical Deforestation and the Kyoto Protocol: A New Proposal.”
Interactions among Amazon land use, forests and climate: prospects for a near-term forest tipping point (2008, background): “The proposal to compensate those tropical nations that succeed in reducing their nationwide emissions of greenhouse gases from deforestation (Santilli et al. 2005) has gained momentum in the UNFCCC process (Gullison et al. 2007), and it could provide an important economic incentive for countries…”
Creating incentives for avoiding further deforestation: the nested approach (2009, background): “…voluntary commitment to reduce their deforestation rates in the form of a reduction target vis-à-vis this national baseline (Moutinho et al., 2005; Santilli et al., 2005; Environmental Defense and the Amazon Institute for Environmental Research (IPAM), 2007; Ogonowski et al., 2007; Greenpeace,…”
