EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE: SUPERCHARGING FOREST SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS

Date: 9 December 2023 

Time: 10:30-11:15 am, GST

Venue: B87, UNEP Pavilion

The race to decarbonization requires an ‘everywhere, everything, all at once’ approach. Beyond the transport and energy sectors, forests offer an untapped mitigation potential of at least 4 gigatonnes of emissions reductions per year. Forests also have enormous potential to generate resources for the communities that inhabit them.  This high-level dialogue will bring together forest-rich countries and experts to discuss a toolbox of solutions, including the role of carbon markets, monitoring systems, and safeguards framework to supercharge the impacts of forest-based actions on climate.
