Advancing REDD+ for Climate Mitigation: Strategies, Impacts, and Stakeholder Engagement

REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is essential for addressing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, with over $7.2 billion in public financing committed for capacity building. It aligns with national priorities for climate change mitigation and adaptation, particularly in developing countries. The Mai Ndombe REDD+ Project in the DRC showcases the benefits of sustainable development through job creation, habitat conservation, and community engagement, while also avoiding over 54 million tons of CO2 emissions and ensuring biodiversity protection.
