       Since the adoption of the Warsaw Framework for REDD+ in 2013, countries have made steady progress in implementing REDD+ activities. This framework is also recognized under Article 5.2 of the Paris Agreement. The first Global Stocktake further underscored the importance of halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, and reaffirmed the significant role of REDD+ in achieving this goal. However, the current landscape of REDD+ implementation—particularly its interaction with evolving mechanisms under the Paris Agreement—has become increasingly complex. Currently there is no dedicated space for REDD+ countries, donors, and stakeholders to systematically share experiences and lessons learned. In response to this need, the UNFCCC secretariat is developing the concept of a REDD+ community of practice, which would serve as a dedicated platform for dialogue and technical exchange.

      With 2030 forest goals approaching, REDD+ countries, supporting organizations and donors have accumulated rich implementation experience—on national REDD+ strategies/action plans, safeguards information systems, forest reference (emission) levels, and results-based finance. The REDD+ Global Summit will be a good opportunity to share experiences and lessons learned, while surfacing collaboration opportunities and informing potential further work by the secretariat. It will also strengthen transparency and facilitate exchange on access to diverse sources of results-based finance, supporting country efforts to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. Finally, it will open a space for discussion on opportunities and challenges with accessing different sources of REDD+ results-based finance, and with combining them with other forest-related funds.
