Nested approach
a hybrid approach to REDD accounting that includes elements of both sub national and national approaches to REDD. Under this approach countries can adopt two unique features: Firstly, the capacity to scale up from a sub national to a national approach over time. Secondly, countries have the option to account for and receive international credits at sub national and national levels simultaneously.

A proposed approach that would allow REDD+ activities to occur at the sub-national and project level and generate carbon credits and revenue based on emissions reductions independently from the overall national performance with the obligation that carbon accounting and crediting would eventually be scaled-up to the national level.
