COP28 Side Event - Revolutionizing REDD+: How to Set the Standard and Move to REDD 2.0

Channeling finance to stop deforestation remains one of the most important goals of carbon markets. There is essentially no pathway to a world that limits warming to 1.5 degrees without protecting standing forests, let alone saving the biodiversity and ecosystem services they provide. In this COP28 session hosted by Verra, panelists address recent criticisms of the REDD approach, separate fact from fiction, and highlight new solutions to ensure REDD projects continue to deliver high-integrity climate solutions and sustainable development.
