About Redd Countries

The REDD Countries Database is a centralised and collaborative database of the diverse and rapidly evolving range of REDD activities in tropical forest owning nations. Organised by country, it summarises key information in multiple languages across a broad range of areas including policies, plans, laws, statistics, activities and financing. The REDD Countries Database does not attempt to assess activities or offer normative analysis but instead uses a common analytical framework to facilitate quick comparison within and between countries.

Three pilot countries - Brazil, Cameroon and Vietnam - were launched on the platform in June 2011. Guyana and Sri Lanka followed shortly after in October 2011 and Laos and Mexico in November 2011. Ecuador is the first country to be launched in 2012, and research for six more countries is currently underway for Dominican Republic, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru, and Tanzania.
