The capacity-building workshop for negotiators and stakeholders on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, plus conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+), held in Hanoi, Vietnam May 18-20, 2011, aimed to:

• Explore the way forward in the international REDD+ negotiations, building on the outcomes of Cancun;
• Examine options for measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), addressing and respecting safeguards, and encouraging co-benefits;
• Explore coordination across issue areas;
• Identify priorities, strategies and opportunities for collaboration for REDD+ readiness and implementation;
