Guidelines for the use of REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards at country level
Recognizing growing awareness at both international and national levels of the need for effective social and environmental safeguards, the REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards initiative aims to define and build support for a higher level of social and environmental performance from REDD+ programs.
This document is the Draft Version 2 of "Guidelines for the use of REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards at country level". Drawing on emerging experience from countries using REDD+ SES, the existing ‘Guidelines on use of the REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards at Country Level’ have been reviewed to facilitate and strengthen the in-country use of the REDD+SES. Comments were invited from the public during 5th April to 4th June 2012 to improve this draft. A new draft of these guidelines has been prepared based on these comments and a response has been prepared to explain how the comments have been addressed. This revised draft of the guidelines and the response to comments are being published on 20th August 2012.
