At the margins of the 42nd session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) in Bonn, IIASA associate researcher Sabine Fuss was invited as a guest speaker at a side event called "Forest finance needs the public sector, private sector & communities to achieve its goals for REDD+".

Alongside representatives from the private sector as well as experts from the Global Canopy Programme , Sabine emphasized the potential effect of minimum price guarantees for carbon credits, which would support, not substitute private financing for forests.
