Mapping the potential for REDD+ to deliver biodiversity conservation in Vietnam |
Through maintenance and restoration of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services, REDD+ has the potential to provide benefits beyond its original climate change mitigation purpose. Depending on how it is implemented, however, REDD+ can also pose potential risks to biodiversity. The success of REDD+ actions in achieving biodiversity conservation, and ensuring that safeguards are met, will depend to a substantial degree on where different REDD+ activities are implemented. Spatial information can help decision makers to plan and prioritise actions and locations as part of national REDD+ programmes.

This program has been strengthening synergies between RE and REDD+ by avoiding deforestation in the far-western development region of Nepal. The PoA promotes appliances involving the efficiency improvements in the thermal applications of non–renewable biomass (NRB) by introducing more efficient biomass fired cooking stoves (ICS).
