FCDO/OGB I-FOREST Profundo.

About this project

Investing and Financing Outcomes in Regional Ecosystems and Sustainable Trade (I-FOREST) addresses the overseas deforestation footprint of India and Vietnam as major importers of forest-risk commodities from tropical forest countries, focusing on the roleof finance and financial institutions (FIs) and trade in driving cross-border deforestation and unsustainable forest use. The expected outcome is that FIs in India and Vietnam adopt and implement policies aligned with regulatory standards that incentive sustainable, gender-responsive and socially-responsible forest governance reforms. The impact is transformed forest governance for forest stewardship that includes fair and sustainable governance, investment and trade arrangements, and reduced risk for public and private forest investments and supply chains. Building on the highly successful Fair Finance Asia (FFA) programme, the project targets regulatory, policy, and practice change at national and FI levels through approaches including evidence-based engagement, capacity strengthening and awareness-raising. Profundo Research Foundation assumes a key role in the methodology and technical support of the I-forest project. TBC
