This sourcebook is structured around a series of 12 modules covering the different aspects of REDD+. It seeks to take stock of the knowledge, approaches, tools and initiatives that have been developed for REDD+ by a range of actors and to facilitate their integration into multi-disciplinary higher education programmes, especially in countries actively engaged in REDD+ readiness efforts and preparations. In particular, the sourcebook aims: to provide guidance on curriculum development and integration of REDD+ concepts and methods into relevant university postgraduate programmes ; to facilitate access of UNREDD+ materials to universities; to engage university networks as strategic platforms and centres of excellence for mainstreaming REDD+ education, research and development. This sourcebook is aimed at university professors and graduate students coming from different academic disciplines (forestry, public policy, environmental science, economics, legal studies, agronomy, etc.) interested in teaching a course or a lecture on REDD+. Although it is primarily oriented towards an academic audience, it could also be adapted to develop capacity-building, training, and education courses and materials for a broad range of audiences.
