An Appraisal of Tanzania’s Legislative Framework on Environment in the Context of REDD+ Safeguards Recht in Afrika: Law in Africa, October, 2012 Issue No. 21435-0963http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/1051The degradation of the world's forests which contributes significantly to emissions from forest ecosystems has raised alarm due to its role in global warming. To address the concern, the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestations and forest Degradation (REDD)** was designed as a world wide scheme, aimed at reimbursing countries for protecting their forests and reducing emissions of greenhouse pollutants, especially carbon dioxide. Under the scheme, developed countries seek to purchase carbon credits from developing countries' concerted efforts in conserving and managing forests in their jurisdictions.enAppraisalLegislative FrameworkEnvironmentREDD+ SafeguardsTanzaniaJournal Article
