Professor Maria Brockhaus from International Forest Policy group is co-organizing side event " Ensuring permanence of efforts to halt deforestation: the power of numbers under changing politics " at UNFCCC COP 25 on December 6th, 2019

Ensuring permanence of efforts to halt deforestation: the power of numbers under changing politics

Major political changes and related business interests facilitate deforestation across the Global South and jeopardise permanence of efforts to halt tropical deforestation (e.g. REDD+). We will assess the role of monitoring and transparency as part of accountability in enabling permanence.

Moderator: Frances Seymour (WRI)

Speakers: Maria Brockhaus (University of Helsinki), Pham Thu Thuy (CIFOR), Niki De Sy (Wageningen University), Andre Vasconcelos (Global Canopy/Trase), Grace Wong (Stockholm Resilience Centre)
