Forests are essential to climate, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Halting deforestation and restoring our forests is critical and urgent if we want to ensure a sustainable future.

How can we act now to scale-up protection and restoration of the world’s forest?

At COP26, world leaders promised to end deforestation by 2030. To reach this goal, deforestation efforts need to scale-up and overcome the barriers it faces. To be successful, credible, inclusive and high-quality solutions are needed.

The purpose of this session is to discuss how to scale-up forest protection and restoration, with the following objectives:

  • Discuss the existing barriers in scale up action and impact
  • Present different pathways to drive change and increase impact
  • Highlight opportunities of collective action and innovative solutions which are driving the change towards reducing deforestation across the world
