The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $2.8 million to improve Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) readiness in Brazil by increasing the adoption of land management best practices on private lands, by building the capacity of state and municipal governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use and land use change, and by improving monitoring, reporting, and verification capacity for REDD+ to estimate forest carbon.
