Many thanks, Marguerite – interesting and timely. 

 

I copy Rao and Christophe in view of their forthcoming forestry investment meeting, which we featured in last month’s inFO news, and Doug re work on FLRM – see below.

Growing interest and investment in sustainable forestry, but how to reduce and manage the risks?

Private sector investment in sustainable forestry is growing, and is projected to increase further following the adoption of the Paris Agreement. This key development is bringing together investors, developing countries and local communities, many of whom will be unfamiliar with certain dynamics and potential challenges. Reducing all parties’ exposure to risks will be crucial, as a forthcoming workshop in Spain aims to show.

Read more about the “Expert workshop on financial and institutional innovation for reducing the risks of private sector investment in sustainable forestry”, Solsona, Spain, 21–22 April 2016, in the workshop information note and about the overall initiative in the concept note – Promoting private sector investments in sustainable forestry. Also visit the FAO websites on Forest Finance and The Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism. [ Rao and Christophe]

Subject: WWF new solutions platform for forests

 

Dear Facilitator,

 

Please see this platform launched by WWF which includes a very thin section on investing in locally controlled forestry. We encourage you to vote for locally controlled forestry.

 

All the best,

 

Marguerite
