Report: Partnerships for Forests is a UK government funded programme that seeks to catalyse investments in which the private sector, public sector and communities can achieve shared value from sustainable forests and sustainable land use.
The UK imports and consumes agricultural and forestry commodities that are driving deforestation and land use conversion.
Tropical rainforests, savannahs, grasslands and other habitats contain much of the planet’s biodiversity and offer cost effective ‘nature-based solutions’ that will be critical if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation account for around 10% of global emissions.
