National REDD+ processes are changing the rules of the game for Civil Society (CSO) and Indigenous Peoples’ (IP) representatives by creating space for positive engagement with government representatives.

Sixteen CSO, IP and government representatives from seven countries participated in the UN-REDD Programme’s Asia-Pacific Regional Exchange among CSO and IP representatives and leaders over 7-8 May 2015, in Bangkok to share their experiences and lessons learned on CSO and IP engagement, as well as to highlight areas for improvement.
