Weak forest governance systems allow illegal operations and forest-risk commodities to proliferate and threaten the world’s forests and the livelihoods for some of the world’s poorest communities.
Weak forest governance systems allow illegal operations and forest-risk commodities to proliferate and threaten the world’s forests and the livelihoods for some of the world’s poorest communities.
It is therefore critical to strengthen forest governance systems, legal frameworks and law enforcement by improving the legal awareness, capacity and engagement of stakeholders who depend on, and are in a position to safeguard the future of forests.This will significantly contribute to the improved management of forests, poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation, and climate protection.
To achieve this, ClientEarth, a UK-based charity organization partnered with RAIN for the implementation of their project dubbed “Using the law to address illegal use of forest and promote good forest and land governance” under the Forest Governance Market and Climate (FGMC) programme.
