Descripción
REDD+ is a climate change mitigation strategy aiming at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the developing countries, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. This paper provides a general overview of the REDD+ readiness activities to get prepared for REDD+ implementation in Nepal. Readiness activities over the past decade have been focused on the development of National REDD+ strategy and establishment of institutional arrangements. Although most of the readiness activities have been carried out, some additional activities, including strengthening national forest monitoring system and updating forest reference level are still ongoing. A participatory and inclusive approach involving and engaging stakeholders in the REDD+ process is adopted in Nepal. After ten years of REDD+ readiness, Nepal is now entering into implementation phase. Emission reduction payment agreement with the forest carbon partnership facility in 2021 has paved the way for implementation phase. During the implementation phase, Nepal will implement emission reduction program at the subnational level in 13 districts of the Tarai Arc Landscape. Seven emission reduction program interventions will be carried out. With this agreement in place, Nepal will be eligible to receive result-based payments for emission reductions.
Key words: Deforestation, forest degradation, emission reduction, implementation, readiness, Tarai Arc Landscape.
