Forest, climate and people : EU support to combat tropical deforestation (REDD+) 2006-2014

The European Union and its Member States strongly support REDD+ as a measure to preserve and strengthen the role of tropical forests in climate change mitigation, adaptation and development. From 2006 to 2014, the EU and its Member States provided EUR 3 billion in support of REDD+ activities. This support covered a wide range of thematic areas, countries and funding channels. This brochure aims to analyse how this funding has been used and to share the experience from past successes and ongoing programmes.
