REDD

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) has been identified as one critical approach in mitigating global climate change by reducing the levels of greenhouse gas emissions that enter our atmosphere. Today, fifteen to twenty percent of global GHG emissions are attributed to deforestation and forest degradation due to activities such as increased logging and agriculture. Many of these countries reside in the Global South, such as Tanzania, where poverty is rife and resource exploitation is a means of livelihood security. However, if such countries can reduce their rates of forest degradation and deforestation and develop strategies to conserve forestlands, then they deserve to be financially compensated for these efforts.

REDD presents a major potential opportunity for Tanzania as it has both high levels of forest coverage and high rates of deforestation. REDD could provide major economic and environmental benefits for the country, but it carries considerable risks for the nation and for the local communities living in forested landscapes. It is essential to include all stakeholders in the REDD strategy and implementation process, and to share all lessons learned along the way.
