Location
Address: 
Mamey Room, Cancun Messe
Country: 
Mexico

Accra Caucus and Global Forest Coalition members share perspectives on national and international REDD processes. REDD may determine the future of forest dependent communities. How have local perspectives on REDD been taken into consideration? What is the political will to respect and implement rights in REDD and address underlying causes?

Global Forest Coalition will launch a new report “Getting to the Roots: Underlying Causes of Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and Drivers of Forest Restoration” which summarises the results of 30 national workshops, including over 1,750 people from 24 countries.

Hosted by The Accra Caucus, Global Forest Coalition and the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group.
