Workshop on the role of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) in climate change
EcoNile, a subsidiary of Nile Educational Group, organized a workshop on the role of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) in climate change with the Forest National Corporation in Sudan. The workshop aimed to raise the awareness and capacity of the participants on the concept and benefits of REDD+, which is a framework under the Paris Agreement to incentivize countries to reduce deforestation and forest degradation by receiving results-based payments. The workshop was presented by Dr. Sayeda Ali, an expert in forestry and climate change, and Dr. Khalda Abuzaid, a natural resources and environmental consultant.
The workshop covered the following topics: REDD+, REDD+ phases, drivers of deforestation, and the role of forests in general. The participants learned about the causes and impacts of deforestation and forest degradation on the climate, biodiversity, and livelihoods, and how REDD+ can help address these challenges. The workshop also explained the steps and requirements for implementing REDD+ activities, such as developing a national strategy, establishing a reference level, monitoring forest carbon stocks, and reporting and verifying emission reductions. Besides, it highlighted the role of forests in providing ecosystem services, enhancing resilience, and supporting sustainable development.
The workshop attracted about 242 participants from various sectors, such as government, academia, civil society, and the private sector. Out of these, 25 attended in person at the hall, while 217 joined online via Zoom. The participants expressed their interest in and appreciation for the workshop and engaged in lively discussions and questions. They also provided feedback and suggestions for improving the workshop and its outcomes.
