Brief: In the aftermath of a REDD+ bilateral agreement
-----------------
The bilateral REDD+ agreement between Norway and Guyana in 2009 has received international attention. This Focali brief gives and update on the Gyuana case from the previous brief (Henders 2010).
The bilateral REDD+ agreement between Norway and Guyana in 2009 has received
