ARLINGTON, VA — August 11, 2021 — The Secretariat of the Architecture for REDD+
Transactions (ART) is pleased to announce the approval of two TREES Concept submissions for jurisdictional REDD+ programs in Ghana and Vietnam. The documents are posted publicly on the ART Registry. The total number of jurisdictions listed with ART is now seven.


The approval of the TREES Concept is the first step to register a jurisdictional REDD+ program under ART. Once TREES Registration documents have been submitted and the results
independently verified by an accredited verification body, the ART Board may approve the
issuance of serialized TREES credits to the participating jurisdiction.
