Abstract:
Most REDD+ initiatives such as UN-REDD and the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) identify tenure reform as an
important aspect of REDD+ readiness. In Vietnam, different forest land and forest tenure exist but are plagued with issues,
which challenged many forest conservation projects. So, will this impede REDD+ efforts? Tenure also became important to
Payments for Forest Environmental Services (PFES), as payments could only be transferred to official ‘forest land tenants’,
undermining many non-tenured forest protectors from accessing benefits. Two critical questions: Should tenure be first
addressed for REDD+ to be functional? Or can it be a means for improving current tenure arrangements?
