Khartoum REED+ ( reducing emission from the forest degradation and deforestation ) is an effort to reduce greenhouse emissions from deforest ration and forest degradation in developing countries and promote forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.
This program is an international mechanism that provides an incentive for developing countries to protect , manage and rational use of the forest resources that contribute to the global fight against climate change.
The main objective of the REED+ mechanisms is to in create an ecological balance and reduce overall impact on the climate.
Sudan REED become effective in 2014 and the program have made significant strides in bringing to the fore, the growing threat of climate change on the economy, the oor and the vulnerable and the multifaceted role that forests can play in mitigating climate change impacts on communities whose livelihood depend on the sustainable managed forest. Forest wood and range lands comprise 35 percent of the land area in Sudan and provided multiple services and benefits to the largely adraian society.
