Phased approach for REDD+ Meridian (2009) & COP16 (UNFCCC 2010) Phase 1 – the readiness phase focuses on the • development of national strategies or action plans, policies and measures, capacity building and demonstration activities. Phase 2 – Implementation phase focuses on • National policy reforms; intervention measures, as well as on demonstration activities that use results based payment mechanisms.
Phased approaches for REDD+ • Phase 3 – transitioning into Phase 3 will involve moving to more direct results-based actions, i.e. emissions and removals that should be fully measured, reported and verified, with payments based on these results.
