Across the globe, governments are taking action to respond to forest loss and land degradation, and many have committed to take transformative action to slow deforestation, restore degraded forests, and better manage and conserve existing forests.
The World Bank’s Climate Change/FCPF and Environment Team/PROGREEN/FOLUR will show how integrated landscape management programs can help communities recover from the COVID crisis by providing jobs and improving livelihoods while delivering on carbon sequestration goals through avoided deforestation, reforestation and landscape restoration. Using examples of current programs, such as innovative Emissions Reduction Programs (ERPs) they will explore how nature-based and natural climate solutions offer additional ecosystem services benefits such as water security, improved agriculture productivity and biodiversity conservation. They will also highlight how blending finance from different sources (results-based climate finance, grants, loans, own funds) enables the integrated cross-sectoral approaches needed to address sustainable landscape management issues in practice.
