The reduction of emissions due to deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), in addition to their sustainable management and the conservation and improvement of carbon stocks, constitutes a critical part of global efforts to mitigate climate change. FAO provides support to developing countries in their REDD+ processes, as well as in the conversion of their political commitments, established in the Nationally Determined Contributions, into actions on the ground. At the heart of this work are forests and the critical role they play in mitigating climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in biomass and soils. This also implies that when forests are cut down or degraded, they can become a source of greenhouse gas emissions, releasing that stored carbon. Globally, gas from deforestation and forest degradation is estimated to account for 11 percent of CO2 emissions. Stopping deforestation is a cost-effective action that has an impact on reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
With our associates we have agreements to develop 1,200,000 hectares of native forest in the Colombian Amazon. For the development of REDD + Projects, we have experience in environmental projects and in working with communities.
In the Peruvian Amazon we have agreements to develop 500,000 hectares for the conservation of Primary Forests in a REDD + Project. In the Ecuadorian Amazon there is the availability to work with 250,000 hectares to conserve them in REDD + projects.
Currently the VCS - Verra Registry System has several independent registry operators: APX, Markit and Caisse des Depets. registry operators must meet strict capitalization requirements and ensure that VCUs are protected in the event of insolvency. They must also submit to the supervision and rules of the VCS, including the prohibition of trading carbon assets due to possible conflicts of interest.

Trees absorb and store carbon in their roots, trunks, and branches. When deforestation occurs and trees are cut down. In trees, this stored carbon is released into the atmosphere and combines with oxygen, creating carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. The increase in CO2 in the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect and causes the atmosphere to retain more heat than necessary, increasing the average temperature of the planet (global warming) and thus inducing climate change. climate change...
REDD+ Projects prevent a certain amount of CO2 from escaping into the atmosphere thanks to their activities. Each ton of CO2 that is not released into the atmosphere thanks to a REDD+ Project generates a carbon credit for said Project....
Carbon bonds are issued after strict validation and verification processes carried out by external auditors. The auditors certify that the project complies with specific international standards, through the evaluation of a rigorous set of requirements, protocols and scientific methodologies...
The carbon credits are sold to individuals and companies that seek to reduce their carbon footprint and play an active role in the fight against climate change while contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of the communities that inhabit those territories. The income obtained from the commercialization of the Carbon Bonds allows the financial sustainability of the project...
