Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Agricultural economy
Effect : Increases the cost for land expansion in certain regions, favouring the use of other external inputs to increase production.
Component: Emissions
Effect : Less emissions due to deforestation and land-use change
Component: Carbon cycle and natural vegetation
Effect : REDD measures can substantially reduce the pressure on forests. This increases the extent of natural forests,
and the net CO2uptake and C pools of forests.
