AThe International Union for Conservation of Nature
BThe United Nations ✓ Correct
CThe World Bank
DThe International Monetary Fund
Correct answer: (B) The United Nations
Explanation
The United Nations has promoted REDD+ through its UNFCCC process and the UN-REDD Programme.
The IUCN participates in forest conservation but did not originate this mechanism.
The World Bank runs related forest-carbon funds yet is not the promoting body here.
The International Monetary Fund handles finance and macro-policy, not forest emissions.
REDD+ rewards developing countries for keeping forests standing and enhancing carbon stocks.
It emerged from UN climate negotiations that began around 2005.
