REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) is a mechanism for:

Answer: Providing financial incentives for developing countries to reduce forest carbon emissions and sustainably manage forests.

  • A Establishing new forest plantations specifically within urban city environments mainly during normal conditions as generally observed
  • B Providing financial incentives for developing countries to reduce forest carbon emissions and sustainably manage forests
  • C Funding the construction of new fossil-fuel power generation plants in rural regions broadly in typical laboratory settings
  • D Monitoring and recording deforestation rates while offering little real financial incentive under usual circumstances

Correct answer: B. Providing financial incentives for developing countries to reduce forest carbon emissions and sustainably manage forests
