According to REDD+, what is one of the responsibilities of people participating in the program?

Participation in the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program involves activities aimed at conserving and enhancing forest carbon stocks. One significant responsibility of participants is to engage in reforestation or afforestation efforts, which includes planting trees. This action helps to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fighting climate change.

In contrast, increasing industrial emissions, expanding urban development, and harvesting more timber would typically go against the objectives of REDD+, which focuses on reducing emissions and protecting forest ecosystems. Thus, planting trees aligns directly with the goals of sustainability and conservation that REDD+ promotes.
