BONN, GERMANY
This GLF side event will bring together AFR100 partners to showcase models for large-scale FLR. While country pledges represent a very important step towards restoring forests and tree-rich, productive landscapes, challenges become apparent with the move towards implementing FLR at scale. The side event will address:
- Spatially explicit land use planning and the respective cartographic fundaments
- Monitoring of FLR in partner countries and strengthening capacity of partners to take on responsibility in managing national FLR-Portfolio
- Land and resource tenure
- Institutional capacities in technical, planning, implementing and monitoring aspects
- Financial resources, national and international
