DESCRIPTION:            More than a decade has passed since the
  adoption of the Warsaw Framework for REDD+ in 2013. Since then\, more tha
 n 65 developing countries have submitted their forest reference (emission)
  levels (FRELs/FRLs)\, and many of these countries also submitted national
  REDD+ strategies\, safeguards information summaries\, and REDD+ results. 
 Over this period\, countries have also accumulated significant technical e
 xpertise and practical experience that can benefit other REDD+ countries t
 hrough peer-to-peer exchange.\n            At the same time\, t
 he landscape of REDD+ finance and governance has become increasingly compl
 ex. Multiple financial institutions\, mechanisms\, organizations and actor
 s are engaged in supporting REDD+ activities. The operationalization of Ar
 ticle 6 of the Paris Agreement\, together with the continued development o
 f jurisdictional REDD+ standards\, crediting mechanisms and results-based 
 finance programmes\, has created new opportunities while also making it in
 creasingly challenging for REDD+ countries to navigate the available optio
 ns and ensure coherence across different processes. To increase ambition t
 owards halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation by 2030\
 , it is essential to strengthen knowledge exchange among REDD+ stakeholder
 s.\n            To respond to this need\, the UNFCCC secretaria
 t launched the REDD+ Community of Practice (REDD+ CP) in 2025. As part of 
 the REDD+ CP\, the first REDD+ meeting for Latin American and Caribbean (L
 AC) countries and the first REDD+ Global Summit were held in December 2025
  and May 2026\, respectively. These meetings have provided valuable opport
 unities for countries to exchange practical experiences\, discuss common c
 hallenges and strengthen professional networks. More information on these 
 meetings is available on the REDD+ Web Platform.\n            B
 uilding on these experiences\, the second REDD+ Community of Practice regi
 onal meeting will be convened in the Asia-Pacific region in 2026. This mee
 ting will provide a regional platform for continued peer-to-peer learning\
 , technical exchange and networking among REDD+ experts.\n The working la
 nguage of the meeting will be English.\n\nhttps://indico.un.org/event/1025
