REDD+

REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. It is an international framework aimed at combating climate change by incentivizing countries to preserve their forests. By maintaining and sustainably managing forest ecosystems, countries can reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. The “plus” refers to the inclusion of support for conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Through financial rewards for keeping forests intact, REDD+ encourages developing nations to value and protect their forest resources while promoting sustainable development.
