International Steering Committee

The majority of committee members are from countries where REDD would be implemented recognizing that developing country governments and civil society should lead the adoption of the standards.

 

The International Steering Committee oversees the standards development an the process for their use in countries, providing strategic orientation and approving content and process at each stage. The International Steering Committee is also responsible for the governance of the whole initiative, ensuring that it adheres to best practice for the development and use of international social and environmental standards. The role, functions and functioning of the International Steering Committee are defined in the Terms of Reference of the International Steering Committee.
