Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ Initiative
The Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ Initiative will develop rules and requirements for the integrated, jurisdiction-wide crediting of activities that Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+).
Under the JNRI initiative, global advisors and technical experts will draft guidelines that can be used by jurisdictions seeking to create integrated accounting frameworks for crediting REDD+ projects and programs across their territories. Currently, there are no regulatory or institutional frameworks for the integrated, or nested, accounting of REDD+ projects and programs across jurisdictions.
JNRI received generous support from the Climate and Land Use Alliance.
