Chatham House and the Rights and Resources Initiative jointly organized a dialogue on the social intersection of climate change and forests at The Royal Society, London on July 8. This was 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 organized around four topics:
-
Forests and REDD in the UNFCCC climate negotiations
-
UN-REDD, FCPF, FIP: Creating precedents and standards?
-
Rights, rules and emission reductions: Clarifying what it really means to be “REDD-ready”
-
Carbon financing mechanisms and forest governance
Further meetings are anticipated in September 2009 in Norway and in January 2010 in London.
