Forests are the backbone of a healthy and sustainable natural environment.

They absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, support biodiverse wildlife, regulate our water supply and provide a home for indigenous communities and cultures.

To protect our forests, however, we need strong frameworks and mechanisms that can unite diverse actors behind a common goal and maximise the effect of conservation efforts. This is where REDD Plus comes in.

Objectives of REDD Plus Malaysia

  1. To promote consistency and synergies in the implementation of climate change, forest and biodiversity related policies between federal and state levels;
  2. To measure, report and verify (MRV) REDD Plus results and as part of efforts to achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC); and
  3. To develop a sustainable financing mechanism for REDD Plus implementation.

REDD Plus Actions

By implementing the National REDD Plus Strategy, Malaysia will contribute to the following national targets:

  • Maintaining 50% forest cover;
  • Achieving the NDC pledge made under the UNFCCC’s Paris Agreement for the period between 2020-2030;
  • Achieving National Policy on Biological Diversity (2016-2025); and
  • Forest policies.
