Abstract
Climate change is a worldwide issue with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human well-being. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is a worldwide policy tool for combating climate change by reducing emissions from the forestry sector and has received widespread attention. Since the program's inception, India has been a strong advocate for REDD+ and its activities. The goal of this research is to evaluate India's current REDD+ readiness. India is the fourth largest CO2 emitter in the world, accounting for 7% of global CO2 emissions. India's emission trajectory shows the country's ever-increasing CO2 emission trend, with an annual average increase rate of 5-6 percent. India has a large geographical area and forest cover, and it holds 7,124.6 million tons of carbon stock. Forests are traditionally managed through a participatory approach, which is similar to REDD+ activities. India has made significant progress toward REDD+ implementation by developing a national REDD+ strategy, enacting consistent laws and regulations, and demonstrating accountability and monitoring of national forest carbon. However, several issues, including forest dependency, community rights, capacity building, policies, and finance, should be carefully addressed to overcome hurdles in REDD+ implementation.

The GlobalizationIn the modern world, the telecommunications and global economic freedom have changed the landscape of people’s movements across the borders and world regions (Arnett, 2002)
Their characteristics are described as below: Below poverty line: In lowland districts, 62.92% respondents were below poverty line (BPL) category, whereas 74.58% were in BPL category in upland belt
Binary logistic model results: Out of the total of ten (10) explanatory variables included into the model, seven (7) were found to determine the renewable energy adoption decision of sample households (Table 4)
Summary
The GlobalizationIn the modern world, the telecommunications and global economic freedom have changed the landscape of people’s movements across the borders and world regions (Arnett, 2002). Plant breeders across several research institutes are relentlessly engaged in developing new rice varieties, which primarily focus on yield improvement. Though with a ‘push’ extension mechanism those varieties are adopted by farmers, to some extent, in a short run, but not accepted in the long run Because of this very reason, those newly developed varieties soon become redundant in the seed system of the state and farmers hardly get the varieties of their choice. This scenario inefficiently utilizes resources at breeding program and jeopardizes state’s ambition to attain food security through varietal replacement. This is more relevant in context of Odisha where participation of farmers in plant breeding program is largely negligible
