About us

The Jurisdictional REDD+ Technical Assistance Partnership (JTAP) is an emerging initiative to support jurisdictions and their key partners to participate in the highest integrity voluntary carbon markets, and thus catalyze tropical forest conservation and finance at scale. To achieve this, the Partnership will provide timely technical assistance to address ongoing audit, issuance, transaction, and implementation readiness needs. The JTAP envisions supporting a significant proportion of tropical forest jurisdictions to launch jurisdictional REDD+ (J-REDD+) programs by 2030 – an outcome with the potential to unlock billions in finance for nature, protect hundreds of millions of hectares of forest, and benefit Indigenous Peoples and local communities at an unprecedented scale.

The JTAP is in an active phase of co-creation, partnership development, fundraising and piloting. We invite those who share our vision to engage and explore how we can collaborate to build an impactful and scalable approach to delivering and sustaining the technical assistance that forest nation stakeholders are urgently requesting. Together, we can support countries to access finance for high integrity credits, and scale up tropical forest conservation.

"In our many conversations with forest governments, the need for technical assistance has been a recurring theme. The JTA Partnership can help many of these governments to overcome the significant barriers they face in developing programs to generate-high integrity forest carbon credits. As such it brings the potential to unlock billions of dollars of climate finance from the private sector, including LEAF Coalition Buyers."

"As a Country pioneering broad level sustainable action to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, through jurisdictional REDD+ that creates tangible results and payments, the value of capacity building and hand holding in our journey cannot be overemphasized."

Technical Architecture

The Pipeline to Issuance

Our specialized model solves the pipeline bottleneck by deploying targeted regulatory, legal, and technical resources directly to sovereign jurisdictions.

Regulatory Alignment

Technical Verification

Social Safeguards

Structuring transparent governance mechanisms that guarantee direct benefit-sharing with indigenous communities.

Establishing stable legal frameworks and securing national approvals to meet strict international carbon standards.

Applying advanced remote sensing and orthophotography to build auditable forest inventory baselines.

Founding Partners

We’re interested in engaging with more partners and stakeholders.

JTAP Partnership

Sovereign-Scale Carbon Integrity

We coordinate technical assistance to transition sovereign forest conservation programs into transaction-ready carbon assets, aligning state governance with international capital under ART TREES.
