THIS IS WHERE REDD COMES INTO PLAY!

8/23/2019 ESSD_2013_REDD


The idea of RED/REDD/REDD+ is to

pay developing countries to keep their

forests intact, in order to reduce the

emission of CO2!

REDD in the context of Global Governance

'Global governance'which can be good, bad, or

indifferentrefers to concrete cooperative problem-

solving arrangements, many of which increasingly

involve not only the United Nations of states but also

'other UNs,' namely international secretariats and

other non-state actors.
