Act to Save the Forests



Deforestation, What are the Causes -- What are the Solutions

Afforestation and reforestation


Incentivizing countries to reduce their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+).

The REDD+ mechanism in the Paris international climate agreement aims to make forests more valuable standing than they would be cut down 1) by placing a value on the carbon they store.

Under REDD+ programs, countries receive results-based payments for verifiable emission reductions measured against a predetermined baseline.

After 10 years of working with the concept, REDD+ has indeed helped to catalyze climate-smart transformation of the forest sector. But the last decade has also shown us that we need to start broadening our thinking about forest protection and emissions reductions, because we can’t save forests if all we think about is saving trees.


~ Local and commercial agriculture are responsible for up to 80 percent of all deforestation across the developing world



Building on momentum at both the national and international levels, climate-smart land-use approaches applied across competing land-use sectors (i.e., agriculture, forestry, among others) are increasing food production and income, while offering opportunities for climate resilience, emission reductions, more sustainable water use, and carbon sequestration...
