The UNFCCC REDD+ Mechanism!
Carbon Credits come from national efforts to preserve and restore rainforests. You only pay for net reduction of national emissions, and the displacement of deforestation is prevented.
Recognizes national governments' crucial role in policy, land tenure and land-use regulations.
Provides the scale of reductions needed - 1bn tons per year - to help address the climate emergency
REDD+ is a global conservation mechanism created under, and administered by, the UNFCCC.
Rigorous measurement, reporting, independent verification and unified greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting ensures atmospheric integrity.
Integration into national GHG inventories prevents double-counting
It works:
A global system, with all key results and retirements published on the UN REDD+ InfoHub.
Since 2006, it has generated over 8.7 bn tons of emissions reductions
The national government: develops a REDD+ strategy; defines a system to measure and monitor forest emissions; reports on safeguards; and creates a Forest Reference Level (FRL) i
All work is completed under standards enshrined in the Paris Agreement.
Emissions reductions are independently verified by two experts from the UNFCCC Roster of Experts.
UNFCCC Secretariat reviews all requirements and posts national reductions meeting these requirements on the UNFCCC InfoHub.
REDD+ Results Units (RRUs) are serialized on a registry powered by IHS MarkIt.
Businesses and individuals can now access these credits on cbl markets or the REDD.plus platform. i
REDD.plus aims to return at least 90% of the proceeds to the country.
Buyers and nations are provided full transparency.
REDD.plus reports all retirements to the UNFCCC to ensure proper treatment in the global carbon budget.
Issuers are the national governments of rainforest nations.
Standards are created under UNFCCC processes, approved by COP decisions, and enshrined in the Paris Agreement
Administration is provided by the UNFCCC Secretariat.
Independent verification is conducted by two individuals from the UNFCCC Roster of Experts – one from a developing country and one from a developed country.
Listing on the platform is approved by the national government.
Registry is administered by IHS MarkIt - ensuring integrity of ownership of every RRU throughout the lifecycle.
Exchange is powered by cbl markets – the largest environmental exchange platform in the world.
Reporting of retirements to UNFCCC is done by REDD.plus to ensure proper accounting in NDCs and the global carbon budget.
