Devant l’urgence du changement climatique, et l’enjeu important lié au maintien des forêts de RDC, le gouvernement a élaboré un plan de préparation à la REDD pour la période 2010-2012.

Thousands came together in "Hopenhagen" from 7-18 December 2009 for what was the most covered and talked about of any United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNF CCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) to date. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD-plus)1 was one of few issues on which progress was made. However, implications of the wider negotiations for REDD-plus are not yet clear.
