On Tuesday, February 13, 2018, I met with Professor Paul Wapner. We discussed how REDD+ is an example of “mission creep.” If REDD+ did not expand, the question arises of what could have been. Would RED have been enough? Would RED have higher concentrated successes? Professor Wapner was helpful in offering suggestions on how to exemplify this in my paper through a type of case selection. It may be valuable to consider which countries pledged to fund the program and if they did contribute. Then, the contributions compared to deforestation rate would shed light on to the successes and failures of this program.
