National REDD+ Strategy (SN-REDD+) 2024

Burkina Faso's National REDD+ Strategy (SN-REDD+) from 2024 notes the economic importance of sustainable forest usage for alleviating rural poverty, and aims to promote sustainable management and restoration over the 2024-2033 period, contributing to domestic development goals and international land-based net emissions mitigation efforts. The strategy aims to roughly quadruple the carbon sequestration of forest land in Burkina Faso by 2033, relative to 2022, via substantial and funded reforestation, afforestation and forest restoration projects. Other priority areas in the strategy include promoting increases in agricultural productivity, to prevent the need for encroachment on forest land.
