Improving international and national governance frameworks and business standards for intact forests and climate and biodiversity

The project will promote better outcomes for the climate, biodiversity and livelihoods values of intact forests and other ecosystems by ensuring they are fully represented in policy frameworks at national and international levels. The four components target (1) forest management frameworks in Republic of Congo and Gabon, (2) global public climate policy and finance frameworks, especially around the UNFCCC and CBD, (3) public and private sector regulations and guidance around forest-risk commodity supply chains and (4) guidance for protecting biodiversity in Chinese foreign direct investment. We will share credible scientific evidence through key consultation processes and facilitate fuller stakeholder involvement.
