Additional funding for REDD+ 2006-14$5,000,000,000$7,500,000,000$9,800,000,000https://www.cgdev.org/sites/default/files/CGD-Norman-Nakhooda-Climate-Forests-5-REDD-Finance.pdfAround $400m had been disbursed as of May 2015. $9.8bn has been pledged. The optimistic estimate assumes that all pledged funds will be disbursed. The realistic estimate assumes that ~75% will. This is an uncertain subjective judgement.

Reduction in deforestation due to national REDD+ plans over respective time period0.0010.0020.003Subjective estimate

See CfRN past impact appendix
This is the most subjective judgement in this subset of the model, though we think the estimates are reasonable.

This averted deforestation may not yet have occurred. CfRN increased the amount that occurs, whenever it occurs.
