The Redd Desk

The REDD Desk (www.theREDDdesk.org) is a collaborative platform for Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) and REDD Readiness, initiated by the Global Canopy Programme and the Forum on Readiness for REDD, represented by the Brazilian-based Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM)

The REDD Library (www.theREDDdesk.org/library) is a comprehensive repository of REDD-related resources that aims to make the ever-growing body of REDD+ literature and media easy to find, manage and share for diverse REDD+ stakeholders.

The REDD Countries database ( www.theREDDdesk.org/countries) is a centralized and collaborative database of REDD Readiness activities in tropical forest owning nations. Organized and aggregated by country, the database summarizes key information across a range of areas including policies, plans, laws, statistics, activities and financing. The database does not attempt to assess activities or offer any kind of normative analysis but will instead use a common analytical framework to allow quick comparison within and between countries. The REDD Countries Database is a collaboration between the GCP, Forum and a network of in-country partners including ASB, IDESAM, IPAM, ONFI, and RECOFTC.
