Because of this, all actions related to climate change mitigation and adaptation are a development priority for the country. A significant amount of effort has gone into the effective management of the DR’s forestry sector, and the country continues to show political will in the implementation of policies and actions in the field, with the goal of reducing emissions in the short and medium term. Currently, the country has all the necessary conditions to continue with this process.
