REDDisms

If government policy is behind the majority of deforestation, it is hard to see how cash payments through REDD would bring change. In Indonesia, the government-sponsored palm-oil industry generated more than $12 billion in government revenues alone in 2010 – much more than the $1 billion offered by Norway to establish REDD. Even if the carbon market works, REDD cannot compete.

— Andy White, Rights and Resources Initiative, March 2011
