REDD+ aims to mitigate climate change through reducing net emissions of greenhouse gases through enhanced forest management in developing countries including PNG.

Developing countries like PNG who are aiming to implement REDD+ activities have to submit a FRL document to the UNFCCC secretariat for its technical review.

This was revealed in the draft Forest Reference Level (FRL) National Report, prepared by the Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA) and PNG Forest Authority (PNGFA).
