Annual Report 2022

Foreword

Following the adoption of the Glasgow Climate Pact at the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December, 2021, the momentum for forests continued to grow in 2022, giving the forest agenda an opportunity to move from an era of goodwill and readiness into a decade of scaled up action, results and finance. Building on the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, announced at UNFCCC COP-26, the Forests and Climate Leaders’ Partnership was launched to drive delivery of the 2030 target to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030.

Gender

Throughout 2022, the UN-REDD Programme continued to support 18 partner countries41 in integrating gender equality and women’s empowerment principles within REDD+ action.

This support ranged from integrating gender within REDD+ benefit sharing systems and carbon market readiness efforts, to ensuring women’s active and equitable involvement in REDD+ efforts, including in REDD+ imagery training, value chains and communication campaigns.

Financial Report

This Consolidated Annual Financial Report of the UN-REDD Programme Fund is prepared by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) in fulfillment of its obligations as Administrative Agent, as per the terms of Reference (TOR), the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the UNDP MPTF Office and the Participating Organizations, and the Standard Administrative Arrangement (SAA) signed with contributors.

Looking ahead

The need to accelerate actions for forests and climate has never been greater, nor has the ability to deliver. 2023 presents a number of strategic opportunities to accelerate into a critical decade of implementation.

In 2023, the programme will continue to support forest partners – countries, donors, private sector, civil society, Indigenous peoples, women and local communities – to turn the tide on deforestation and to contribute to advancing a number of strategic commitments in the forest and climate agenda, as discussed by the UN-REDD Executive Board.
