CARE Norway, jointly with the REDD+SES Initiative, strengthened social and environmental information systems (SIS) in Indonesia (Central and East Kalimantan), Brazil (Acre and Mato Grosso), DRC (Mai Ndombe), Ecuador, Peru (San Martin) and Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula).

Significant challenges remained to secure reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation through the REDD+ scheme at a global scale. These challenges included a critical gap in expected funding. TNC’s project has addressed these challenges by supporting the development of specific funding streams through the rest of the decade.

Overall, Solidaridad has demonstrated and illustrated how farming can shift from being part of the problem to part of the solution to deforestation and climate change in Mexico, Peru and Colombia.

Overall, the project has demonstrated the possibilities for unlocking private funding and engaging private sector in landscape restoration.

This project will strengthen legislation and parliamentary scrutiny functions in a group of forested developing countries in support of national REDD+ efforts. 

The desired state of society which this project will contribute to will be a society that respects, protects and fulfills the human rights of indigenous peoples and all human beings and incentivize lifestyles, cultures, knowledge and practices, which promote sustainable management of forests and ecosystems and promote justice, equity and sustainability.

This project will contribute toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the livelihoods of rural, forest- dependent people, and conserving biodiversity.

The project will contribute to rapidly scaling up demand and supply for REDD+ credits and build momentum and opportunity for the creation of positive incentives for global forest protection in future carbon markets and other climate policies.

National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and partners have established independent monitoring systems for cattle and soy, and implemented monitoring for sustainable roundtables in Brazil, Mexico and Indonesia. NWF has also supported the case for jurisdictional REDD+.

The Earth Innovation Institute has built an NGO alliance which influenced governments, farmers and agricultural businesses towards low-emission rural development.
