, more than the entire global transportation sector and second only to the energy sector.

In response, Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which Malaysia is one, have developed a climate change mitigation approach designed to incentivise developing countries to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

REDD Plus aims to incentivize developing countries to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conserve forest carbon stocks, sustainably manage forests and enhance forest carbon stocks.

• Reducing carbon emissions from deforestation
• Reducing carbon emissions from forest degradation
• Conservation of forest carbon stocks
• Sustainable management of forests
• Enhancement of forest and carbon stocks

How does REDD Plus benefit Malaysia?

Developing countries that meet UNFCCC REDD Plus requirements, including Malaysia, will receive results-based payments (RBPs) for verified emissions reductions.

By implementing REDD Plus actions, countries will contribute to conserving their national biodiversity and to the global fight against climate change.

Why is REDD Plus important?

Deforestation and forest degradation have long been recognized as significant sources of carbon emissions.

What are the phases of REDD Plus?
