Since the adoption of the Warsaw Framework for REDD+ in 2013, countries have made steady progress in implementing REDD+ activities. This framework is also recognized under Article 5.2 of the Paris Agreement. The first Global Stocktake further underscored the importance of halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. However, the current landscape of REDD+ implementation – particularly its interaction with evolving mechanisms under the Paris Agreement – has become increasingly complex. The UN Climate Change launched the UNFCCC REDD+ Community of Practice in 2025 as a dedicated platform for dialogue and technical exchange for REDD+ countries, donors and other stakeholders.
