The latest issues from the UN-REDD Programme Asia-Pacific listserv take a closer look at how National REDD+ Strategies respond to key deforestation and forest deforestation drivers, and REDD+ in the agricultural sector.

The Go-REDD+ issue entitled, Drivers and strategies…do they match?, analyzes the key drivers of deforestation and forest degradation based on reviewed scientific literature and 31 REDD+ Readiness Preparation Proposals or UN-REDD National Programme Documents. It explores if National REDD+ Strategies can actually respond to the national deforestation and land degradation to benefit the REDD+ mechanism.

The Go-REDD+ issue entitled, REDD+ and Improving Agricultural Technologies, explores how agricultural activities can impact deforestation and land degradation, and how public policy related to agriculture should be integrated into national REDD+ strategies.
