Climate change is a natural phenomenon. Anthropogenic climate change has been accelerated by the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), primarily from industrialization, deforestation and increased use of fossil fuels for transport. Scientific evidence, as cited by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), clearly indicates the wide scale of climate change.
REDD has emerged as a major mitigation measure of climate change. It is proposed as a winwin strategy for both north and south. Nepal has also participated in pilot project of REDD.
