Conclusionsβ’ Performance measure itself has implications on resultsβ’ For result-based finance, it is important to understand
causes of changeβ’ Which measure is more βclimate-friendlyβ?β’ Overall, most REDD+ sites perform relatively well when
compared to control units, especially on village level(here: only relative change is analysed)
β’ Causes of βpoorβ & βgoodβ BACI scores vary widelyβ Random/contextual factors
o Biaso Low absolute deforestationo Peaks (is REDD+ influencing big drivers?)
β Additionalityβ Poor/good performance
β’ Next: link to specific REDD+ interventions
