The Woods Hole Research Center, as secretariat for the Forum on Readiness for REDD, agreed to collect information on readiness activities in developing countries and assemble a background document that would allow interested stakeholders to get a snapshot of readiness activities both globally and in their country or region, as a way to highlight potential gaps and synergies and encourage collaboration and partnerships in all facets of readiness efforts. Given the high level of interest and support for REDD, the pace and number of readiness projects and initiatives has been increasing at an encouraging rate. This document is by no means an exhaustive catalogue of readiness activities, and we intend for this to be a living document and encourage comments and additional input, which can be included in electronic form.
