Our Strategy

1.1. Countries and jurisdictions implement REDD+ investment plans/programmes to deliver their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

• Support transformational cross-sectoral policy design and implementation
• Promote financing arrangements for scaled up REDD+ action
• Support design and implementation of integrated land use policies and plans
• Integrate Indigenous Peoples’ and local community’s development plans into REDD+ programmes
• Align and leverage REDD+ finance for COVID-19 recovery
• Integrate and connect REDD policies and actions across geographical scales and ensure the integrity of emission reduction accounting

1.2. Forest landscape restoration and forest carbon stock enhancement accelerated

• Scale up investment and action in forest landscape restoration
• Develop national standards for sustainable and legal forest management
• Support local income-generating restoration activities for vulnerable groups
• Support the design and implementation of pest and integrated fire management practices

1.3. Deforestation-free commodity supply chains developed

• Reform and align economic incentives to reduce deforestation from commodity value chains
• Provide evidence-based inputs on policy approaches, management and reporting for deforestation-free supply chains
• Redirect public and private capital to finance deforestation-free commodities
• Include deforestation-free standards in commodity platforms across multiple scales
• Pilot public-private partnerships in deforestation-free supply chains

1.4. Countries enabled to measure high-quality and accurate activity data, emission factors, emissions and emission reductions with policy-relevant monitoring systems

• Ensure accuracy, environmental integrity and overall quality of results
• Provide technical assistance for the continuous improvement of national forest monitoring systems
• Support development of carbon accounting frameworks, procedures and tools
• Support resource-efficient solutions for data collection, management and analysis, enhancing accessibility and transparency
• Support generation of policy relevant information and assessments of past actions and policies

1.5. Safeguards addressed, respected, monitored and reported throughout the implementation of REDD+ actions

• Strengthen policies, procedures and institutional capacities to address and respect safeguards
• Improve SIS operations to compile, manage and analyze safeguards information
• Ensure a broad range of environmental and social non-carbon benefits
• Mainstream gender across the REDD+ cycles

2.1. RBPs accessed for measured, reported and verified REDD+ results

• Help countries meet eligibility requirements for, and access to, RBPs from multiple sources
• Inform the revision of existing, and design of new, scaled-up RBP programmes
• Provide advice on inclusive and gender-responsive approaches to the equitable use of RBP proceeds
• Establish virtuous cycles of high-quality mitigation results and access to payments

2.2. Market transactions for forest carbon facilitated

• Help countries meet eligibility requirements of ART-TREES and entry into emerging carbon markets
• Conduct carbon market readiness assessments and create synergies across carbon finance options
• Clarify rights related to emission reductions titles
• Provide evidence-based inputs to standard-setting initiatives

2.3. Private-sector forest carbon investments mobilized

• Identify and connect private companies committed to invest in forest-based solutions
• Stimulate private sector investment in forest-based solutions of high environmental integrity
• Facilitate partnerships between countries and the private sector to scale up investment into REDD+

3.1 NDCs mitigation actions in the forest and landuse sectors assessed, accelerated and enhanced through time

• Facilitate policy coordination and multi-stakeholder dialogues for enhanced forest-related targets
• Scope financing and investment opportunities for the implementation of forest components
• Support expansion of forest and land-use coverage in NDC scope
• Capitalise on synergies between REDD+ finance and enhanced ambition of NDC forest components
• Facilitate stakeholder inclusion in forest and land use aspects of NDC process

4.1. Knowledge on how to scale up REDD+ implementation is captured, managed and disseminated to accelerate climate action

• Produce knowledge and communication products on solutions related to Outcomes 1-3
• Maintain an online repository and collaborative platform as a hub for knowledge management
• Convene South-South, regional and global webinars and knowledge exchange events on REDD+
• Service communities of technical practice under Outcomes 1-3
• Integrate social inclusion and gender equality in knowledge management and communications

4.2. Collective political and societal support to NbS increased

• Connect, convene and capacitate global champions and leaders to accelerate ambition on NbS
• Strengthen the recognition and inclusion of the knowledge of Indigenous Peoples and youth in NbS
• Support global and regional NbS networks and initiatives
• Conduct targeted global and regional public advocacy campaigns to advance NbS

4.3 Digital cooperation and frontier technologies deployed to accelerate and enhance NbS

• Promote frontier technologies and use of big data to support NbS movement
• Support digital cooperation platforms and processes to provide NbS knowledge
• Facilitate partnerships between NbS networks and technology leaders
• Identify frontier technology solutions to accelerate systemic change in land management
• Assess barriers to digital cooperation and virtual engagement among marginalized groups
