The UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD Programme) was established in July 2008, to help establish a REDD programme within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This website provides information on programme donors and projects, as well as links to other relevant sites and documents.
This is the official website for information sharing on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) and related topics, under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This platform makes information provided by various stakeholders involved in UNFCCC processes available in the areas of technical assistance, demonstration activities, country specific information, and methods and tools. Details of relevant meetings and events are also included.
This site contains all National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) so far submitted to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It includes a rationale for NAPAs, a brief history of NAPAs and a short account of the process involved in preparing a NAPA. There are links to the relevant policy documents under the UNFCCC on the site, including the decisions that establish the NAPA process.
NAPAs submitted by countries to date are posted as pdfs in English and sometimes French.
