Intergovernmental fiscal transfers (IFTs) are an innovative way to create incentives for local public actors to support conservation. This book contributes to the debate about how to conserve tropical forests by implementing mechanisms for reducing deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+).

They consider the theoretical justification, as well as the wider political and administrative context for developing the design of IFTs for conservation.
