With reference to the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program being carried out in the Himalayan states, consider the following statements: Under the REDD+ program, developing nations receive results-based payment. UN-REDD program helps the countries develop the ability to meet the REDD+ goals. Select the correct option:

The correct answer is: Both 1 and 2 are correct.

REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. It is a mechanism under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that aims to incentivize developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

Under the REDD+ program, developing nations can receive results-based payments from developed countries if they can demonstrate that they have reduced their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. These payments can be used to support a variety of activities, such as forest conservation, sustainable forest management, and reforestation.

The UN-REDD program is a partnership between the UNFCCC and other international organizations that provides technical and financial assistance to developing countries to help them implement REDD+. The UN-REDD program also helps to build capacity in developing countries to monitor, report, and verify their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

Both statements are correct. Under the REDD+ program, developing nations receive results-based payments if they can demonstrate that they have reduced their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The UN-REDD program helps the countries develop the ability to meet the REDD+ goals.
