Equity is frequently cited as one of the key design aspects of environmental governance
regimes. In the context of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD+), a forest-based climate change mitigation instrument, the manner
in which ‘equity’ is understood will be of critical importance for the impacts and
acceptance of REDD+ policies and initiatives. Whereas the concept has been
extensively studied in the academic literature, references to equity in REDD+ policy
debates and documents are often vague, leaving room for various interpretations and
modes of implementation. In our case study of the Tanzanian national REDD+ policy
domain, we provide a conceptual framework based on an institutional logics approach
for analysing the various underlying rationales in the ‘equity in REDD+’ debate. We
apply it to demonstrate how the involved policy actors draw from heterogeneous equity

importance of precise contextualization and operationalization of broad international
principles in national REDD+ initiatives.
