ObservaREDD+ provides transparent and accessible data on the efforts of Amazonian states to combat deforestation and promote sustainable development. Explore key dimensions of REDD+ implementation, including governance frameworks, deforestation reduction targets, and the crucial role of transparency and social participation. Explore the progress of individual states under jurisdictional approaches investment received from REDD+ projects. Our goal is to empower researchers, policymakers, and the public with the information needed to track progress, ensure accountability, and support the conservation of the Brazilian Amazon.

This section evaluates the legal and governance framework for REDD+ of states of the Legal Amazon, using 5 criteria. A robust legal framework for REDD+ is essential to ensure it can be implemented without generating legal insecurity.
This section assesses if States have an active deforestation reduction target as of 2025, established by an Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation and Forest Fires (PPCdQ). An up-to-date deforestation reduction target is a strong indicator of the commitment of the State to the REDD+ agenda and of their ability to deliver results in the future.
This section evaluates the degree of transparency and social participation in States of the Legal Amazon, drawing on the Environmental Democracy Index. Transparency and social participation are key aspects to guarantee the respect of REDD+ safeguards and ensure a fair benefit-sharing system.
This section assesses efforts deployed by states of the Brazilian Amazon to deploy and implement Jurisdictional-level approaches for REDD+. Jurisdictional approaches are those where the State Government itself commits to delivering emission reductions from deforestation and degradation, in exchange for results-based payments or the purchase of carbon credits.
This section inventories active REDD+ projects in States of the Legal Amazon. REDD+ projects can be a source of investments into protection, but may hamper the development of jurisdictional approaches if clear nesting mechanisms are not established. Information available on the "Mapping of Forest Carbon Projects in Brazil" platform.
