The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries. A report has been published which introduces the 16 UN-REDD partner countries in Africa, and discusses regional specific opportunities and challenges arising from reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+). It highlights the need to: extend REDD+ knowledge and dialogue beyond policy makers to include all relevant stakeholders; and build a solid institutional framework for REDD+ that promotes coordination and cooperation. The report emphasises the importance of integrating REDD+ into sustainable development such that the environmental and social benefits from REDD+ can be maximised while the risks are minimised.
