Scope of the Web Platform

The COP has invited Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders to support ongoing efforts, capacity building, demonstration activities and mobilization of resources relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries and to share the outcomes of these efforts with the SBSTA by providing corresponding information to the secretariat. 

This Web Platform aims to provide and encourage the sharing of information submitted by Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders that covers the following areas:
