    D.

    Uganda

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is: (d) Uganda
    Explanation:
    · In 2021, Uganda became the first African country to submit its official results under the REDD+ mechanism to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
    · REDD+ is a framework that encourages developing countries to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and promote sustainable forest management.
    Information Booster:
    · REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, plus conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.
    · The program is supported by the UN-REDD Programme, FAO, UNDP, and UNEP.
    · Uganda’s submission included data on emission reductions between 2015 and 2017.
    · Verified reductions can help Uganda access result-based payments from international climate funds.
    · It also supports global efforts to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · UNFCCC is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, formed in 1992 to address global warming.
    · REDD+ is important for countries with tropical forests, contributing to carbon sink preservation.
    · India is also a participant in REDD+ under its National REDD+ Strategy (2018).
    · Uganda’s forests include tropical rainforests, which are key biodiversity hotspots in East Africa.
