ABSTRACT
The conclusion covers recent developments in Norway’s bilateral agreement with Indonesia on forest and climate issues. It then recaps the evidence collated for this book on the performance of REDD+ in Indonesia in the decade from 2010. It argues that sizable and powerful opposition to REDD+ hampered its success in Indonesia. Political contestations at multiple levels affected its results, with REDD+ leading to some pernicious outcomes for people and communities. It concludes that REDD+ likely dampened deforestation in Indonesia, but not as much as hoped. The chapter asks what the prospects for REDD+ are in Indonesia and other tropical forested countries and ends by discussing other strategies for moving towards more regenerative nature–society relations in this hyper-capitalist age.
