About REDD+ Coordination Unit

The REDD+ Coordination Unit was established in March 2018 to coordinate all REDD+ related activities, promote collaboration between government agencies and facilitate multi-sectoral discussions that will lead to the development and implementation of REDD+ plans and strategies in Belize.
As a unit under the National Climate Change Office of Belize, the REDD+ Coordination Unit will work closely with the Forest Department, Department of the Environment, Ministry of Finance & Economic Development, Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Natural Resources and other government agencies, to ensure improved collaboration and better decision-making processes in the forest sector.
