Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the latest updates on the role of social protection in promoting and protecting the livelihood of forest-dependent people.

The online discussion is approaching its end and we invite you to take advantage of these last days to share your thoughts, particularly on the questions raised by the facilitator.

This exchange will help the preparation of a report for the event on “Social protection for building resilience of forest dependent people” that will take place at the XIV World Forestry Congress (WFC) in Durban, South Africa in September.

For all further information please visit the FSN Forum website. As usual, we welcome contributions in English, French and Spanish.

Dear participants

This week we will discuss how social protection instruments and forestry policies can be coordinated. We will also focus on the current global climate change agenda especially the opportunities it presents for harmonizing social protection policies and forestry policies.

Anna Antwi

You may wish to consider discussing the two parts of the fifth question:

5 a) What aspects of the global climate-change agenda present opportunities for harmonizing social protection and sustainable forestry policies?

Tips: Examples of aspects include climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, reduction of greenhouse emissions, climate change funds, climate-smart agriculture. You can cite protocols, agreements and country-specific climate change adaptation programmes, policies and interventions.

5b) What are the key mechanisms for fostering coordination of and coherence between social protection and forestry policies?

Tips: Consider institutional, co-ordination, governance and political, design and implementation, key actors, and financial aspects. Give examples from country experience.
