Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation

Fundamentals on REDD+ online course covers the basics from the elements required under the UNFCCC to how implement REDD+ at the national level including financial resource available.

Governments and their partners can use these tools to identify efficient and effective land use mitigation and adaptation strategies and financial instruments, and encourage policy coordination.

Do you find REDD confusing, opaque, and obtuse? Do you wonder where it came from, and how it impacts indigenous people? Find out here.

This report presents the progress of projects and initiatives that promote adaptation and REDD+ in the Congo Basin region and analyses opportunities for synergies or trade-offs between the two strategies.

This articles describes solutions for both adaptation and mitigation in the Congo Basin Forests.

This article details hopes and worries about REDD+ projects held by local communities.

This article describes a unique solar cooker project for primary schools that aimed to provide a clean and efficient substitute for fossil fuel based cooking solutions (like fuel wood and LPG) for the mid-day meals cooked in these schools.

This paper presents some of the adaptation research results from the Congo Basin Forest and Climate Change Adaptation project (CoFCCA).

This report focuses on the linkages between mitigation and adaptation in community forestry contexts. In keeping with the IPCC, we argue that neither mitigation nor adaptation measures alone are sufficient to respond to climate change impacts and that greater attention to the inter-relationships, synergies, and trade-offs between them are required (IPCC, 2007). The five case studies give insights into how and why adaptation considerations must be integrated within forest-based mitigation efforts such as REDD+.

ROBIN provides information for policy, together with resource use options, under scenarios of socio-economic and climate change.
