Adapting Forest Policies and Institutions to Meet Climate Change Challenges: Country Experiences
Food and Agriculture Organization
Location: 328, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius
Technical aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation have received most attention to date. Less focus has been put on what constitutes an enabling environment policy and institutional environment for effective climate change responses.
Countries need to assess whether their forest policies, legislation, institutions and governance arrangements are adequate to meet the new challenges and opportunities posed by climate change. Adjustments will need to be made. Mechanisms for addressing intersectoral linkages will have to be strengthened.
The side event provides an opportunity to discuss key issues and share countries’ experiences in addressing needed forest policy and institutional changes.
