Chatham House-RRI Dialogue on Forests, Governance and Climate Change No. 1

The first in a series of meetings aiming to promote learning and frank discussion on the key issues facing forests and forest communities as the world scales up efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The meeting was organised around four topics: Forests and REDD in the climate negotiations; UN-REDD, FCPF, FIP: creating precedents and standards? Rights, rules, people and emissions reductions; Carbon financing mechanisms and forest governance. The final agenda is available below.
