In the glossary

REDD+
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, plus conservation and sustainable management. Credits are earned by keeping carbon in standing forest against a baseline of expected loss.
Afforestation, Reforestation & Revegetation
Regrowing forest or vegetation on degraded or non-forest land. Credits come from the carbon newly sequestered as biomass accumulates.
