UN REDD+ (United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries)

UN REDD+ is a global initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation, particularly in developing countries. The program encourages nations to protect their forests by providing financial incentives and support for sustainable forest management practices. By doing so, REDD+ aims to preserve biodiversity, support local communities, and combat climate change. The "+” in REDD+ highlights the inclusion of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks, creating a comprehensive approach to forest preservation and climate action.
