🌳 Did you know?

700 million tonnes of forest emissions reductions have been submitted to the UNFCCC by UN-REDD partner countries.

This milestone highlights countries’ progress in measuring, reporting and demonstrating reductions in emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

🌍 Protecting forests is therefore important because it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also safeguarding biodiversity, supporting livelihoods and strengthening climate resilience.

🌍 More than 1 billion meals are wasted every day.

Food loss and waste isn’t just about food—it’s also about forests, land, water and climate.

This year’s International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste highlights the important link between reducing food waste, protecting forests and building sustainable agrifood systems.

🌱 Using the food we already produce more efficiently can reduce pressure on land and forests while helping feed more people.

🌳 And healthy forests support food production by protecting soils, regulating rainfall and sustaining ecosystems.

Let’s waste less, protect more and build food systems that work for people and the planet.

🌳 Forests are a powerful climate solution.

Up to 6.5 GtCO₂e of mitigation potential lies within forests by 2030, highlighting the critical role of forest protection, restoration and sustainable management in climate action.

Investing in forests can help reduce emissions while supporting climate resilience, biodiversity and the communities whose livelihoods depend on forests.

Protect forests. Restore landscapes. Accelerate climate action. 🌍

Food loss and waste is not just a food issue — it is also an environmental issue. 🌱

Reducing food loss and waste can help ease pressure on natural resources, including land, water and , while contributing to more sustainable and resilient food systems.

Less waste. More sustainable food systems. A healthier planet. 🌍

🌳 Papua New Guinea turns REDD+ results into climate finance for communities and forests.

Papua New Guinea has officially launched implementation of its Green Climate Fund (GCF) Results-Based Payment (RBP) Programme, marking a major step in translating verified REDD+ results into tangible climate and development benefits.

The programme follows the GCF’s approval of USD 63.4 million in results-based finance, recognising approximately 17 million tonnes of verified emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation achieved between 2014 and 2016.

At its heart is benefit sharing. In line with PNG’s REDD+ Benefit Sharing Guidelines, around 60% of programme funding is expected to support community livelihoods and low-emission development.

🌳 According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025, forests cover 4.14 billion hectares of the world’s land area — roughly equivalent to the combined land area of Russia, Canada, the United States, China and Brazil.

But forests are more than a number on a map.

They are home to extraordinary biodiversity. They absorb and store carbon, regulate water, protect soils, and support the livelihoods, cultures and well-being of millions of people and communities around the world.

🌍 Every hectare of forest matters. Every hectare lost has consequences.

Protecting forests means investing in climate action, biodiversity, resilient communities and sustainable livelihoods. It also means ensuring that the people who depend on forests are at the centre of efforts to protect, restore and sustainably manage them.

The challenge is global — and so is the opportunity to act.

🌳 How can countries ensure that REDD+ actions are implemented with strong environmental and social safeguards?
UN-REDD Learning Journal explores the safeguards requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and practical approaches countries can use to meet them.
It covers:
🔹 The seven Cancun safeguards and REDD+ safeguards requirements under the UNFCCC
🔹 A conceptual framework for developing country approaches to safeguards
🔹 Key considerations and steps for designing a Safeguard Information System (SIS)
🔹 Considerations for preparing summaries of safeguards information
🔹 UN-REDD tools available to support countries in
designing and applying their approaches to REDD+ safeguards

🌳 Across forest countries, securing land and tenure rights is increasingly recognized as central to climate action, biodiversity protection and resilient livelihoods.

From Ecuador to the Republic of Congo and Indonesia, governments working with UN-REDD and partners are translating REDD+ investments into concrete gains for Indigenous Peoples and local communities — demonstrating how rights-based approaches can strengthen forest outcomes.
