Since 2008, the United Nations is running a program REDD to create awareness for the importance of carbon stored in the forests, reduction of carbon emissions and investment in low carbon development. What does REDD stand for?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (B) Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation

REDD is a global initiative launched by the United Nations to combat climate change by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The program aims to incentivize developing countries to protect and manage their forests sustainably, as forests play a crucial role in storing carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

REDD+ is an expanded version of the program, which includes additional efforts such as conservation and sustainable forest management.
