The Glossary is a comprehensive reference guide aimed to provide a greater understanding of REDD terminology. The Glossary contains content related to verification, validation, carbon finance, voluntary market standards, and more. The aim of the document is to provide up-to-date, clear and succinct descriptions of emerging themes and concepts. The glossary is an ideal tool for both those engaged in REDD project and policy development as well as students, novices or those wishing to simply educate themselves on REDD. Pact intends to periodically review and expand the glossary. Your comments and feedback are welcomed and can be sent to [email protected].
