Community-based monitoring, reporting and verification know-how: Sharing knowledge from practice


Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) has emerged as one of the biggest global opportunities for the conservation of tropical forests. More than US$8 billion has been committed for REDD+, the largest single commitment to forests in history. With 20% of global carbon emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation, REDD+ has the capacity to fight climate change by producing real and verifiable emissions reductions, while benefiting biodiversity and people’s well-being.

WWF supports the development of REDD+ by taking a two-pronged approach. WWF’s global Forest and Climate Programme (FCP) is working at the field level to build REDD+ at scale, and at the global level to ensure the policies and financial support are in place for REDD+ to succeed. Our work is currently focused on threatened and valuable forest landscapes around the world in Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guyana, Indonesia and Peru.
