16 Dec 2021, 14.00-16.00 GMT+7, Online

The Comparative Study on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (GCS-REDD+) project, led by CIFOR-ICRAF in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia and Peru, focuses on strengthening Knowledge for action to protect tropical forests and enhance rights. GCS REDD+ provides policy makers and practitioners with information, tools and analysis to design and implement effective, efficient and equitable policies and actions to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation, enhance contribution of the forestry sector in NDC and ensure the rights of Indigenous and local communities.

This science-policy dialogue provides a forum for discussion on national priorities and strategies towards NDCs and to transform FOLU sectors into a carbon net-sink by 2030. It will shed light on how research in general and the GCS-REDD+ project can support aligning forest, finance and development planning in Indonesia.
