Climate change is a reality in Côte d'Ivoire. This is evidenced in recent years by natural disasters, floods, disturbances in rainfall patterns, the disruption of cropping calendars with their impolitic corollary, the phenomenon of immigration or the large-scale destruction of the forest cover. At this level, the National Bureau of Technical Study and Development (Bnetd) indicates that Côte d'Ivoire, essentially agricultural country had in the 1900s, about 16 million hectares of forest. Unfortunately, this forest cover is barely 3.4 million hectares according to the same statistics that date from 2015. A real danger therefore hangs over Côte d'Ivoire. What to do ? The REDD + Coordination in Côte d'Ivoire (Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), which is an international mechanism born in 2005, as a climate change mitigation approach based on forests for developing countries that Côte d'Ivoire joined in June 2011, wants to play its part. It multiplies awareness campaigns for a better awareness. And the media are one of the targets in this search for awareness in the fight. From Wednesday, July 4, 2018, until Friday, July 6, 2018, the Redd + Ivory Coast, organizes a training session for journalists on climate change and the Redd + mechanism in Côte d'Ivoire. According to the initiators, this mechanism is based on four pillars namely: the national Redd + strategy, the reference emission level for forests, the national monitoring system and the safeguards information system, whose focus is on activities resting, particularly on the reduction of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide), due to deforestation, the conservation of forests and the increase of forest carbon stocks, to the economic valuation of standing forests, by making it more profitable by conservation than by slaughtering and remunerating countries for their non-deforestation efforts. At this level, several achievements in the preparation phase of Redd + in Côte d'Ivoire have been recorded. On the one hand, from the development of the National Strategy with a Framework for Action and its adoption by the Government on November 3, 2017, the development and submission of the baseline emission level for forests , the establishment of a national system for forest monitoring, and the establishment of an information system on safeguards or safeguards, as well as the establishment of a governance framework of the Redd + mechanism. Because, in reality, it is for Redd + through the implementation of these different batteries, de reduce deforestation and forest degradation and rebuild its forest cover to reach 20% by 2030. But, all this must be done by the sensitization of all the communities
