They are generated at national level from activities to preserve and protect forests. The REDD+ mechanism is used to measure, report, and verify these emissions reductions.

From our inception, we have remained small and nimble, yet our impact has been very cost-effective, significant, and far-reaching. CfRN was hailed by the New York Times in 2020 as one of the two most effective organizations in the world on climate change? The accolade remains true today.

Q: Why are rainforests so important to the climate emergency?

Combining an energy transition with our planet’s natural solutions gives us the best shot at aligning to the elusive 1.5 degrees C pathway in time. Rainforests are one of the largest and most cost-effective emission reduction opportunities for the planet. [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Q: What is UNFCCC REDD+?

The UNFCCC REDD+ framework enables rainforest nations to obtain economic value for carbon reductions resulting from actions they take to reduce deforestation and preserve their rainforests. It was developed by our countries under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests. It is the only emissions reduction program and standard included in the Paris Agreement and approved by over 190 countries. The term REDD+ is enshrined in Article 5.2 of the Paris Agreement.
