Abstract

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, REDD+ is a representative nature- based c limate s olution. The i nternational c ommunity r ecognizes that the RED D+ program is the most cost-effective way to mitigate climate change. Furthermore, REDD+ can achieve the net zero target. Private corporations aiming to achieve the net zero target pay attention to REDD+ projects. The objective of this study was to analyze the use of the REDD+ mechanism as one of key strategies for private corporations to achieve the net zero target and to propose new strategies for corporations to realize the net zero target. By participating in the REDD+ project, private corporations can create social benefits such as carbon emission reduction and conservation of biodiversity. By fulfilling their social responsibility in efforts to address the climate crisis, individual corporations can generate additional revenue by selling verified carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market. However, the fact that the project is carried out over a long period and must comply with stringent implementation rules can act as a barrier to participate in REDD+ projects. Investment in the climate sector has been steadily increasing in recent ESG trend. Related technology development and improved transparency in the carbon market are being achieved, which may operate as an incentive for private corporations to take the REDD+ project into account for their strategies to achieve the net zero target.
