This publication on REDD+ Readiness in Hindu Kush Himalaya is an effort to share the knowledge of the partner countries of the 'REDD+ Himalaya Project' on REDD+ readiness for accelerating the implementation of REDD+ activities to mitigate the impact of climate change, to promote forest land restoration, biodiversity conservation and to provide alternate income generation opportunities to the local communities. This publication documents the impacts of the investment supported by International Climate Initiative (IKI) in these four countries and how the countries were able to benefit from the support. This IKI grant was made available by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Government of Germany through GIZ.
