Explanation:

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is climate change mitigation mechanism being developed by Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). REDD+ goes beyond simply deforestation and forest degradation, and includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Its objective to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests by offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development. Developing countries would receive results-based payments for results-based actions. Apart from this, it
promotes the informed and meaningful involvement of all the stakeholders, including indigenous people and other forest dependent communities.
