REDD+ Brasil

By establishing its National REDD+ Strategy (ENREDD+ in Portuguese), Brazil fulfills the last requirement to get its REDD+ results recognized under the UNFCCC. Brazil has completed the measurement, reporting and verification process of REDD+ results achieved by reducing emissions from deforestation in the Amazon biome between 2006 and 2010. The 2.971 Gt CO2e result is equivalent to more than double Brazil's estimated emissions for 2012, and it represents one of the most significant climate change mitigation contributions for that time period. The recognition materialized with the launch of the Lima REDD+ Information Hub, during an event at COP-21. This platform is a repository for all the relevant REDD+ documentation ender the Convention, such as technical submissions, REDD+ results-based payments, donors, figures etc. The Info Hub will be key for providing transparency to the international system that carries out and monitors REDD+ actions worldwide. As the first country to fulfill all the requirements to have its results recognized, Brazil had the opportunity to inaugurate the Lima REDD+ Information Hub. All the submissions to the UNFCCC developed so far are already available on Lima REDD+ Information Hub. Brazil welcomes the opportunity to present its results with the recognition provided by this platform and expects that it can help attracting new donors and boosting REDD+ results-based payments.
