This paper uses media analysis to investigate how policy debates around REDD+ are represented to the Indonesian public. By examining the content of national media reports since the concept of REDD+ was first proposed in 2005, and adding depth and perspective to these coded data through interviews with journalists who have covered REDD+, the study has captured a snapshot of the actors, frames, processes and policy debates that are driving REDD+ in Indonesia. The study is based on the hypothesis that gaining an understanding of the different frames that actors use to define and influence REDD+ policy debates, and the way in which these debates are portrayed in the media, will help identify policy options to facilitate REDD+ mechanisms that are effective, efficient and equitable.
