UN-REDD Programme
The FAO-UNDP-UNEP partnership helping countries prepare for REDD+ — the UN's flagship forest-climate readiness programme.
Definition
The UN-REDD Programme is the UN collaborative programme on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, launched in 2008 as a partnership of FAO, UNDP and UNEP. It supports countries in building the capacities REDD+ requires: national strategies, forest monitoring and measurement systems (NFMS), safeguards information systems, and reference levels — the "readiness" phase that precedes results-based payments from funds such as the Green Climate Fund.
