economy approach will, again, be specific to country context. Discussions are needed,
however, on whether this is the most appropriate way forward, or if an appropriate division

3. What role can the international community play in
supporting the integration of REDD+ into a green
economy?
A final question concerns the engagement of multilateral institutions and the potential role
of other countries in one nation’s pursuit of a green economy. With so much dependent on
the national context, from ecological, social, economic and political points of view, how can
support be provided and experiences transferred between countries? Or should each country
seek its own solution? This issue is further complicated by the need to have nationally
owned green economy plans that can foster greater public and political buy-in. While public
finance is being used to support existing work in this area, greater foreign investment will
require greater clarity on how donors can best support the integration of REDD+ within a
country’s transition to a green economy.
