REDD+ Standards

2010

At least two initiatives are in place to develop social and environmental standards for REDD projects and programs which would simultaneously contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of the forests while increasing forest carbon levels (REDD+): 

1)    The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) and CARE International are facilitating the process of developing standards for a new regime of REDD+ for programs led by governments and implemented at national level or at state/province/regional level: http://www.climate-standards.org/REDD+

2)    Representatives of different sectors involved in REDD in Brazil are collaborating on the elaboration Principles and Socioenvironmental Criteria of REDD+ for Brazil: http://www.reddsocioambiental.org.br
