UNFCCC REDD web platform: Forest Reference Levels and Forest Reference Emission Levels

The Conference of the Parties (COP) invited Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders to share outcomes, experiences and lessons learned from their efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD+). The REDD+ Web Platform, mandated by the COP in decision 2/CP.13, was established with the purpose of making available such information on the outcomes of activities relating to REDD+, including activities on capacity building, demonstration activities, addressing drivers of deforestation and mobilization of resources. Since the launch of the REDD+ Web Platform after COP 13, both the COP and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) have recognized the Platform as a useful tool and have mandated additional functions to be developed. The information shared on the REDD+ Web Platform can be accessed through three entry points: by submitting country, by submitting organization, or by topic.
