Increasing access to forest carbon finance

...Supporting countries to be REDD+ & LEAF ready through UNREDD
Protecting forests is integral to ensuring the global climate emergency is addressed by avoiding carbon emissions through reduced deforestation and fostering carbon sequestration. In pursuing this international goal, UNREDD promotes approaches that ensure the environmental integrity of carbon emissions reductions while supporting non-carbon benefits - from safeguarding biodiversity to supporting local livelihoods and promoting the rights of indigenous peoples. This event will showcase the success of forest countries in working towards REDD+ readiness with support from the global UNREDD programme to ultimately receive payments for their forest protection activities.
