UN-REDD Programme

The UN-REDD Programme (United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) aims to combat climate change by protecting forests. It helps countries develop strategies to reduce emissions from deforestation, which is a significant contributor to global warming. By promoting sustainable forest management, conservation, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks, the program supports both environmental protection and the rights of indigenous peoples. Ultimately, UN-REDD works towards achieving a balance between development and ecological sustainability, helping nations reduce their carbon footprint while preserving vital forest resources.
