The REDD+ Coalition advocates for the inclusion of REDD+ projects and programs in Brazil’s definitive list of activities eligible to generate Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The position highlights the importance of aligning Brazil’s forest conservation agenda with international climate cooperation and financing mechanisms, ensuring consistency between the country’s deforestation roadmap and the regulation of ITMOs. It also emphasizes the need for clear eligibility criteria, robust environmental and social safeguards, transparency, and respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities. By recognizing REDD+ as an eligible activity, Brazil can strengthen forest protection, mobilize additional resources for conservation, and generate tangible benefits for climate, biodiversity, and local communities.
