Abstract

United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has provided a platform
to the international community to negotiate and take measures for climate
change mitigation. REDD+ is emerged as an incentive based mitigation mechanism
to address the potential role of forestry up to 17-25 % reported share towards
GHG emissions reduction.

Pakistan
is a low forest cover country but has a significant potential for REDD+ for
which it has a long list of endeavors to enter into the global mainstream in
order to bring future REDD+ into its practice and for the benefit of local
community together with global contribution towards mitigation response. This
paper analyzes the global dynamics, existing national
and international policies and local governance setup, and aims at providing
policy recommendations through a framework of actions to meet all requirements
of REDD+, especially for the setting up of good governance model moving from
Readiness (2011-2012) to Mainstreaming phase from 2013 onward.
