Abstract: Kenyaâ??s Readiness Preparation Proposal (R-PP) outlines the process by which the Government of Kenya will develop its national strategy for participating in an evolving international mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conserving and enhancing stocks and sustainably managing forests (REDD+). While this R-PP does not preclude any future policies or anticipate any outcomes, the Government is committed to the REDD+ readiness process and is participating actively in international REDD+ negotiations. Even if an international mechanism to provide carbon finance for emissions management activities in forests do not reach the magnitude many are hoping, the Government of Kenya aims to design policies and measures to protect its remaining forest resources from deforestation and degradation and to enhance forest carbon stocks in ways that help improve local livelihoods and biodiversity. The Government of Kenyaâ??s priority is to implement environmentally and socially sustainable land-use and forest policies, and this plan establishes a set of actions to achieve this aim. We are committed to communicating the lessons learned from the Readiness Process both within Kenya and to the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) and broader international community.
