REDD+ is a mechanism to address climate change by reducing deforestation and forest degradation. In this article, the implementation of the REDD Early Movers- REM/Visión Amazonia program in Guaviare, Colombia, is analyzed, focusing on the implementation challenges and scope of the program when addressing deforestation drivers in a post-conflict context. By taking a historical perspective on regional deforestation challenges in Guaviare, we link these challenges to the recent deforestation trends in the region. This article demonstrates the particular challenges to implementing REDD+ in the Colombian post-conflict context related to the power vacuum left by the FARC retreat, land grabbing for speculation and cattle ranching, power asymmetries and corrupted regional elites. The article concludes that the current scope of REM does not sufficiently address the main drivers of deforestation, and that REM's focus on campesinos and indigenous communities will not significantly reduce the substantial deforestation rates in the present post-conflict context.

REDD +是一种通过减少森林砍伐和森林退化来应对气候变化的机制。在本文中，分析了在哥伦比亚瓜维阿雷市开展的REDD早期行动者REM /VisiónAmazonia计划的实施情况，重点是在解决冲突后环境中的毁林驱动因素时，该计划的实施挑战和范围。通过对瓜维阿雷地区森林砍伐挑战的历史观点，我们将这些挑战与该地区近期的森林砍伐趋势联系起来。本文展示了在哥伦比亚冲突后背景下实施REDD +所面临的特殊挑战，这与哥伦比亚革命武装力量撤退所造成的权力真空，抢夺投机土地和牲畜牧场，权力不对称以及腐败的地区精英阶层有关。
