The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $6.8 million in the BIO-REDD+ program to support local Colombian organizations' efforts to participate in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) projects, conserve biodiversity, and develop environmental policies at the national and sub-national levels. Activities will link forest conservation and market-based financing, support emissions inventories, increase the availability and application of climate data to local planning processes, as well as increase the resilience of communities to climate change. The program is also supporting Colombia's low emission development strategy.
