Many people are questioning the difference between REDD and REDD+, here is the ultimate answer to them:
 

REDD [1] stands for:

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation

 

REDD+ or REDD plus or REDD-plus: [2]

extends REDD by

  • Sustainable Forest Management [3]
     
  • Conservation of Forests [4]
     
  • Enhancement of carbon sinks [5]

 

REDD++: Extends REDD+ by

  • Low-carbon but high biodiversity [6] lands

 

Besides REDD or REDD+ or REDD++ you may be interested in retrieving more background knowldege in:

  • Is conservation the [7]main deal of REDD+? [7]
  • Is illegal logging the main reason of deforestation? [8]
    • What are the real drivers of deforestation? [9]
       
    • Agriculture is the real driver of deforestation... [10]
       
    • How is the EU combating deforestation? [11]
       
  • FLEGT, EU-ETR and VPA's - will that really stop illegal logging? [12]
     
  • FLEGT - a critical analyes... [13]
     
  • How about impact of sustainable forest management (SFM)  in the tropics? [14]
