Abstract: Abstract This research provides an overview of the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) initiatives and the forest situation in Vietnam. With a specific focus on the REDD+ program in Vietnam, the report also examines forest management practices, forest covers, drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, and current land use patterns in Vietnam. The findings highlight the significance of REDD+ as a global mechanism aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while also promoting conservation, sustainable forest management, and enhancing forest carbon stocks. Nowadays, Vietnam, known for its diverse and valuable forest ecosystems, faces significant challenges in combating deforestation and forest degradation. It identifies drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, such as agricultural expansion, illegal logging, infrastructure development, and weak governance, both in Vietnam and globally. Furthermore, the report examines the current land use patterns in Vietnam, highlighting the interplay between agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and forest conversion. The implications of these land use changes on deforestation and forest degradation are discussed. In conclusion, this research report provides a comprehensive understanding of the REDD+ program and forest situation in Vietnam. The findings underscore the challenges and opportunities in implementing REDD+ initiatives, promoting sustainable forest management, and addressing deforestation and forest degradation. The report contributes valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in developing evidence-based strategies and interventions to protect forests, mitigate climate change, and promote sustainable development in Vietnam and beyond.
