REDD mechanisms offer the potential to simultaneously combat climate change, conserve biodiversity, and promote sustainable development. However, to be successful, REDD must recognize and safeguard the traditional livelihoods, cultural identities and land tenure rights of local indigenous groups, key stewards of global forests. The Copenhagen Accord recommended the mobilization of significant financial resources towards the implementation of REDD mechanisms. Yet, while the over $4-billion pledge from some developed countries is a significant incentive, it is not clear how the implementation of REDD mechanisms will take place. For example, how will countries implement effective and transparent systems to channel benefits to local communities, particularly as market, regulatory and delivery risks of REDD mechanisms are more pronounced in indigenous lands in areas undergoing rapid cultural and economic change? Over a quarter of forests in Latin America and Asia are owned and/or managed by indigenous and other forest communities. In the Brazilian
