The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has partnered with the ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins at the World Agroforesty Centre to build capacity for REDD+ negotiators and stakeholders in Africa and Asia, with a focus on countries with UN-REDD programs.
The project aims to increase understanding of the REDD+ negotiations and provide information on experiences in the forestry sector to lay the technical and policy foundations for better REDD+ programs. The project encourages South–South exchange of information on REDD+, and has been undertaken in three stages between 2009 and 2012. We invite you to explore this web platform, which includes information on REDD+ initiatives and actions throughout Asia and Africa, lessons learned and critical issues moving forward. It also includes information on IISD/ASB–ICRAF project activities and provides a forum for discussion and further knowledge sharing.
We welcome your feedback. For more information, or to share information on this website, please contact Jessica Boyle.
Generous support for this project, including this web platform, is provided by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad).

Mind the Gap: The state-of-play in Canadian greenhouse gas mitigation
» David Sawyer, IISD, 2011.In "Mind the Gap" Dave Sawyer explores where we stand with regard to current Canadian climate change policies and how Canada can close the gap between emissions reductions expected from current federal and provincial policies and our 2020 emissions mitigation target of 17 per cent below 2005 levels. Suggestions include expanded regulatory frameworks, as well as a renewed look at both domestic and international abatement options from offsets.
Mind the Gap was produced as part of IISD Climate Change and Energy's Regulating Carbon in Canada Initiative.
