Recognising Paraguay’s REDD+ results for the years 2015-2017.

During these years, Paraguay has reduced a total volume 23 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2eq) in emissions from reducing deforestation, forest degradation, enhancement of forest stocks and conservation (REDD+).  The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has assessed these results as being fully compliant with its REDD+ stipulations. Paraguay will use the payment to invest in implementing its National Strategy for Forests and Sustainable Growth, which is aligned with its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
