Code REDD is a non-profit organization working to empower marginalized communities, preserve forests, and protect endangered wildlife – all while reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The organization created market-based solutions that prevent the destruction of forest land and other biodiversity hotspots using the United Nations’ mechanism to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+).
At this year’s Global Reporting Initiative conference, I talked to Tara O’Shea from Code REDD about how sustainability reporting can benefit forest preservation by enabling working with projects such as Code REDD
