Welcome to the Learning Journal on Nesting Approaches for REDD+ This Learning Journal was developed for the revitalized REDD+ Academy. It aims to bridge the understanding and practical application of nesting, which entails aligning REDD+ initiatives across various geographical and administrative scales into a consistent accounting system at the jurisdictional (national or subnational) scale, with consideration of key governance and safeguards aspects. Who is it for? This Learning Journal is intended to serve as a guide for government practitioners, but may also be of interest to project developers, public and private funders and REDD+ technical assistance partners.

Pledges to reduce deforestation and pledges to financially support this transition from developed countries, are insufficient to halt deforestation by 2030. This report finds that commitments within the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from the twenty countries with the highest emissions from tropical deforestation are not enough to meet the goal. Only eight countries include explicit, quantified targets to reduce deforestation. All fall short of the global ambition to halt deforestation by 2030. The report provides recommendations to strengthen and enhance forest-based targets in NDCs and other policies and scale up immediate and substantive financial and technical support for forest-rich countries.
