The Forest and Climate Leaders’ Summit is the first event of the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership. It will focus on delivery and accountability of forest and land use commitments made at COP26 and other relevant fora.

The event will focus on how essential forests are for people, in terms of food resilience, adaptation and for livelihoods and for climate, notably the vital sequestration role they play in meeting the Paris agreement. Each session should outline (i) how forests can be a positive development choice for countries contributing to sustainable economic development; (2) the essential role of Africa; and, (3) the importance of all types of finance being directed to meet the challenge – i.e. Grants, Concessional Finance, Equity, Philanthropy, Private Investment.
