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
