At COP26 during the World Leaders Summit Forest Day session on November 2, 2021, the United States announced the Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks, which includes an inventory of new and existing programs that support the implementation of the Plan including the Department of State-funded, Winrock-executed Offsetting National Emissions from Sustainable Landscapes Plus (ONE-SL) project.
ONE-SL will support countries and subnational jurisdictions at an advanced state of readiness to implement jurisdictional REDD+ programs that are eligible for international climate finance, and will improve the capacity of national and sub-national REDD+ and Article 6 focal points to support market engagement. With significant potential to support achievement of financially sustainable large-scale emissions reductions programs, this can provide a significant step to a country’s ability to achieve its NDC and secure private sector finance.
