This course provides a basic level of understanding regarding the REDD+ concept. It begins with background information on climate change and drivers of deforestation, then covers the essential aspects of the technical, political, financial, social and environmental issues related to REDD+, and finalizes with a basics on implementing REDD+ activities at a national or sub-national scale. The course is meant to enable participants to more fully understand and better engage in REDD+ policy negotiations at the national and international levels and to facilitate the development of credible REDD+ activities in developing countries through basic capacity building.
