UN-REDD Programme in Indonesia



 

Indonesia

Indonesia hosts the third largest tropical rainforest in the world, with forests covering approximately 70 per cent of the country. The UN-REDD National Programme aims to facilitate the development of a REDD+ architecture in Indonesia that will allow a fair, equitable and transparent REDD+ implementation, significantly contributing to a sustainable reduction in forest-related GHGs. In March 2009, US$5.6 million was approved by the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board for the Indonesia National Programme.

In March 2010, funds were released from the MPTF, marking the start of the Programme’s inception and implementation phase.
