THIS IS AN ADVANCED DRAFT OF THE GUIDANCE.
This guidance is co-developed by UNDP and Climate Focus, and builds upon consultations with policy makers and Indigenous Peoples, with support from the Government of the United Kingdom, and in collaboration with the UN-REDD Programme.
This Guidance note is extremely relevant for governments currently seeking to accelerate NDC implementation through actions in the land sector, while also considering ambitious long-term climate goals. Considering over 80 percent of NDCs include forests and land use, the Paris Agreement will not be achieved unless countries scale-up and accelerate climate action in the land sector.
