Lessons from International and Regional Instruments: A ClientEarth and World Resources Institute Submission to SBSTA

September 2011 | Read the submission

ClientEarth and the World Resources Institute believe that effective implementation of the REDD+ safeguards adopted by the Conference of the Parties at Cancun (COP-16) will be essential to successful REDD+ projects and programs. At COP-16, Parties determined that the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technical Advice (SBSTA) should develop guidance relating to the safeguard information system referred to in the Cancun Agreements. Together with Observers, Parties have been encouraged to submit their views on what guidance is needed.
