2018 Annual Report
Forests are a major, requisite front of action in the global fight against catastrophic climate change thanks to their unparalleled capacity to absorb and store carbon.
UN-REDD was the first joint global United Nations programme on climate change. It has been a pioneer of innovative policy and financing approaches to valuing and protecting forests.
2020 will mark a pivotal moment in humanity’s quest for a sustainable future, when greenhouse gas emissions need to start declining if we are to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change. The UN-REDD Programme is a proven model required to overcome the climate crisis.
