The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and partners have been conducting research on the policies and practices linking forests and climate change mitigation in Ethiopia and 16 countries around the world, under the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS-REDD+). The GCS REDD+ uses uniform methods across countries, which allows us to compare REDD+ developments across countries. Globally, this study started in 2009; Ethiopia became one of the study countries since 2014.
We are holding a national knowledge-sharing workshop on 5 to 6 April 2019 in Nexus Hotel, Addis Ababa, to share results from research in Ethiopia and globally. This workshop is an opportunity to gather stakeholders working in the intersection of forestry and climate change at the national and subnational levels. This national workshop is CIFOR’s contribution in maintaining a vibrant community of practice in Ethiopia in the topic of forest and climate change. The workshop will involve participants, speakers and moderators who are actively involved in the science and implementation forest and climate change actions. Many were also resource persons in our studies, research partners, and were involved in our previous workshops.
We want to create an open space to:
- share information, perspectives and ideas on ways forward for REDD+ and forestry in Ethiopia
- discuss the implications of these research results on REDD+ and forest governance in Ethiopia
- identify knowledge gaps that should be addressed through research
