IIED is supporting the government of Jamaica with readiness for Reducing Emissions for Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+). This support will enable Jamaica to prepare a National REDD+ Strategy for a low-carbon and climate-resilient society.

Jamaica is currently engaged in the first of three REDD+ phases, the readiness phase. This will build capacity towards a National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS), Forest Reference Emissions Level (FREL) and Safeguard Information System such that Jamaica can qualify for implementation (phase two) and payments-for-results (phase three).
