Support for the Forest Climate Leaders Partnership

At the COP 27 climate negotiations, the President of Ghana and leaders from 25 countries and the EU launched the Forests and Climate Leaders’ Partnership (FCLP). Ghana and the US will co-chair the partnership, which aims to enhance cooperation, scale ambitions, and find solutions to forest management challenges. This was in fulfilment of the landmark declaration made at COP26 in Glasgow to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030. The FCLP will seek to provide ways to facilitate and, in some cases, enhance cooperation on the delivery of pledges made in Glasgow. The partnership will also scale ambitions and help find innovative solutions to ongoing challenges in managing forests and forest resources. The IKI contribution supports the FCLP Secretariat and therefore the efforts to coordinate and successfully implement the partnership with a focus on supporting the participating developing countries.
