REDD+ refers to mitigation actions in developing countries relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, with the “plus” signifying conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), developing countries wishing to engage in REDD+ activities need to ensure that they have the necessary capacity to implement climate change mitigation actions in the forestry sector using a three-phased approach. Successful implementation of such actions relies on robust capabilities to routinely and reliably monitor changes in forest areas, carbon stocks, and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals through the establishment of a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system.
