Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

REDD+ is a program in which wealthy nations provide financial compensation to developing countries to protect their forests, with the aim of reducing global carbon emissions. These payments allow for sustainable forest management and prevent deforestation, which contributes significantly to carbon emissions. In return, the wealthy nations receive carbon offsets that contribute towards their greenhouse gas reduction targets.
