Answer 1

Answer:

B. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation(REDD plus) is a mechanism developed by Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It creates a financial value for the carbon stored in forests by offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development.
