REDD stands for “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries”. REDD+ goes beyond deforestation and forest degradation, and includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Read more about REDD+ here .
WHY?
REDD+ has been on the international and national policy arena for 5 years, and significant progress has been made by leading forest nations, the international community and the civil society – but many challenges still need to be overcome before REDD+ is effective.
WHO?
The conference will gather more than 400 representatives of civil society, REDD+ and donor governments, researchers, multilateral organizations and the private sector.
HOW?
Conference participants will identify the most critical constraints to the successful establishment and implementation of REDD+ initiatives, and debate the most promising ideas for producing results at landscape, jurisdictional, and national scales, and how the international community may most effectively contribute.
