The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) in developing countries. The Programme
was launched in 2008 and builds on the convening role and technical expertise of the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The UN-REDD
Programme supports nationally-led REDD+ processes and promotes the informed and meaningful
involvement of all stakeholders, including indigenous peoples and other forest-dependent
communities, in national and international REDD+ implementation
