Addressing the causes of deforestation and forest degradation
land ownership in forest areas
forest management
protection of impacts that will occur from the project operation
Effective Community Participation especially the local community and stakeholders

2. Forest reference emission level or forest reference level at the national level

3. Transparent national forest monitoring system for monitoring and reporting activities of the Redd Plus framework

4. System for providing information on social impact protection natural resources and the environment (Safeguards Information System: SIS)
