A GREENER FUTURE

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