Number

Date

Status

D110.3	2.4.2012	Available upon request
Socio-economic integration report
An overview of how key socio-economic issues are considered and integrated into the activities of ReCover. This includes: 1) an analysis of socio-economic drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, 2) a summary and overview on socio-economic, demographic and forest policy situation of the different country cases, and 3) the status of REDD+ safeguards that have been put forward by the UNFCCC as “risk management” variables in REDD+ implementation.

D130.5	14.3.2013	Pending
WEB GIS platform user guide
The purpose of this document is to provide the users with a set of guidelines in the use of the RECOVER Toolbox, a Web application that can be accessed by anybody with a standard internet connection.
