REDD is now coming as one global forests development scenario to solve the climate changes problem that effecting the words now days and to reduce the big impact in the future. It is a sets of mechanism that will allow incentive and transfer of resources to safe and sustainable forests management. As add by Jan William Van Baster, the Program Manager of IUCN EA Program that "recently several numbers of standard and instrument for carbon program has been developed by number of parties based on their interest. But there’s remain gaps especially in the development country that has large forest cover. So having a complete understanding about REDD is crucial to make us ready from now to support the next REDD related activities on the ground".
In the introduction Jan again pointed out that "Some says that REDD is complex and complicated but it’s depend from which site we were looking to it. Basically we realize that REDD is a global strategy to reduce the emission from deforestation and degradation. In this term REDD can be interpreted as an opportunity, challenge or an idea to generate resources of solution. From this differs point of view we can also identify where our role to tackling deforestation. In the scope of REDD as an opportunity and an idea to generate resources of solution REDD is complicated with money, information, instrument/methods and actors that working at the global, national until sub national level."
The A - Z learning event is focusing on two areas: 1) approaches for smaller NGOs and communities to jointly set up REDD+ projects that can also be designed without the generation of verified carbon credits. 2) influencing national and international REDD+ policymaking, in particular the development of national REDD+ strategies, to promote and defend the interests of Indigenous Communities and local communiites. The workshop will also give an update on the basics of REDD+ and where we currently stand with the concept.
