For example, REDD+ (Reduction in Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) is a framework through which developing countries are rewarded financially for forest protection actions which lead to a measured decrease in the conversion of forests to other land uses. The program now also includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries. Financial incentives are not yet compelling enough to drive forest-friendly development in a number of countries, however.
