UN-REDD is the UN’s knowledge and advisory platform on forest solutions to the climate crisis. It is a UN flagship partnership, composed of three agencies – FAO, UNDP and UNEP – that work together to assist countries to implement the Paris Agreement, with each providing support to well-defined technical areas of expertise. Within the framework of the UN Reforms, UN-REDD constitutes a unique case of inter-agency collaboration towards the SDGs. With over a decade of engagement with, and support to 65 partner countries, the UN-REDD Programme has amassed unparalleled experience and knowledge on how to advance the climate and forest agenda. These lessons have informed the design of the new Programme, 2021-2025. By capitalizing on the respective strengths of the agencies, the Programme’s joint vision represents a step forward to strengthening collaboration in support of Member States in implementing the 2030 Agenda. Given the challenge ahead the UN-REDD must elevate its ambition, extend its reach and concurrently diversify its funding base. The international community has engaged in increasing commitments and ambition worldwide in the response to the climate crisis, with a major focus on Nature-Based Solutions (in which forests are pivotal), as confirmed at the UN Climate Action Summit (2019). For policy and financial instruments to function and deliver ambitious and lasting transformations in land and forest sector, countries will need qualitative, independent and trusted advice to be able to navigate their complex technical, stakeholder and policy dimensions. The UN-REDD program can play a pivotal role to deliver on this ambition. In this regard, it aims to achieve four interrelated outcomes: - Outcome 1: Forest-based GHG emission reductions and enhanced removals, of increasing quality unlocked at a level of 1 GtCO2e by 2025 [forest solutions realized] ‐ Outcome 2. Enabling USD 5 billion mobilized for REDD+ from results-based payment schemes, carbon markets and other transactions under Art. 6 of the Paris Agreement [forest solutions rewarded] ‐ Outcome 3. More than 15 countries significantly enhance the forest component of their NDCs in the 2020-2025 cycle, including quantitative targets [forest solutions enhanced] ‐ Outcome 4. Connecting actors and knowledge for forest solutions [Nature-based Solutions movement to accelerate climate action] Within the scope of this ambition, the UN-REDD Results Framework for the period 2021-2025 is structured around a set of outputs that align with international agreements and trends that suit country demands and that reflect donor interests. These represent key domains of policy advice, technical assistance and knowledge that UN-REDD will provide to countries and stakeholders to advance forest solutions. This Project contributes to the UNEP Medium Term Strategy 2018-2021 and 2022-2025. It is central to the delivery of the Climate Change Sub-programme Expected accomplishment which is focused on REDD+ as a form of climate change mitigation. It critically provides technical support for countries to meet the UNFCCC Warsaw pillars for accessing results-based payments, as well as helps to meet a number of Sustainable Development Goal targets and corresponding indicators.

In Nepal 234,600 people are victims of Modern Day Slavery (MDS/trafficking), with poverty a root cause. CLAMP supports the eradication of forced labour, ending modern slavery and human trafficking; overcoming its physical & emotional trauma (SDG 8.7). Focused in 2 high-risk districts, it will enable the socio-economic empowerment (SDG 1.1) & protection of slavery survivors, vulnerable adolescents & women, reducing vulnerability of potential victims & enhancing survivors’ capacities to rebuild their future. It will create better access to education, skills & economic empowerment. Advocacy, led by Youth Change Agents, will unite Govt. & civil society to build strong protection mechanisms, influencing power structures to bring needs-based policy change. 25.2% of Nepalis live below the poverty line (HDI:145). Political instability and the 2015 earthquakes devastated Nepal, restricting economic growth, throwing a million people into extreme poverty. In Sindhupalchowk district 90% of houses & 557 Govt schools were destroyed, with 3,532 casualties, and similar devastation in Nuwakot district. MDS increased with a 15% spike in human trafficking. Nepal is a MDS source, transit & destination country rating 13th on the Global Slavery Index. 2014-16 Sindhupalchowk police records report 66 women & 37 girls missing & 183 missing (2013-16) in Nuwakot, the majority go unreported. A recent government order to form Committees for Combating Human Trafficking at all Government levels is a huge opportunity

ChildHope UK participates as part of a consortium on this programme, lead by The Institute of Development Studies, UK (IDS). ChildHope UK delivers the activities in Nepal and Bangladesh with local partners Voice of Children and Grambangla Unnayan Committee respectively. IDS - "This programme will co-develop with stakeholders, innovative and context-appropriate ways to increase options for children to avoid engagement in hazardous exploitative labour. The primary beneficiaries will be children in modern slavery and the worst forms of child labour and those who are vulnerable to being drawn into it. The families of these children will benefit from greater resilience to shocks, better options for their children’s safe and healthy future and less intra-family stress and conflict. Businesses will benefit from practical solutions to child-labour free supply chains. Policy makers, NGOs, and researchers will benefit from a knowledge of what works. Our programme responds to six of seven DFID priority areas: responsible business; children’s agency; gender sensitivity; children in conflict and crises; drivers of vulnerability and vulnerable groups; and evidence. We also respond to two of four sectoral priorities: manufacturing and domestic servitude. The work will contribute to meeting Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7 (eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking),and mark a step change toward the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour expressed in ILO convention 182 and article 190. The consortium takes as its starting point a child’s right to protection from exploitative work (Art. 32 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child [UNCRC]) and the right to participate in decisions that affect them according to their evolving capacity (Art. 12 of the UNCRC)."

This research programme aims to improve understanding of the nature, frequency, scale, and impact of attacks on healthcare in conflict through improved data collection and analysis. Multiple international studies confirm a global consensus that attacks on health often threaten the sanctity of health care, disrespect the right to health care, and violate international humanitarian law. Gathering evidence of attacks has to date been crucial in raising awareness of the issue. But existing evidence is largely restricted to the reporting of incidents and their immediate impact, and falls short of providing data on the longer-term and wider impacts of attacks on healthcare access and utilisation as well as broader public health outcomes. This research will transcend previous work on attacks against healthcare through rigorous new and sustained data collection over the lifetime of the project. It aims to produce data that generate stronger evidence of the scale and nature of the problem and document the impacts of the attacks to support global policy and advocacy efforts.
