CIFOR - Forestry-Climate Change-Biodiversity (FCCB) nexus: ''Our Forest, Our Future''

About this project

Contract related to: CIFOR - Forestry-Climate Change-Biodiversity (FCCB) nexus: ''Our Forest, Our Future'' - Climate Change, environment degradation and the loss of biodiversity are an interlinked and existential threat to PNG, Europe and the world. Unprecedented climate hazards such as frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, and etc, cause dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affect billions, especially those living in the most vulnerable situations.Because of PNG's high level of vulnerability, climate change action plays an important role in its policy agenda. It is included in PNG's Visions 2050 and its 2014 National Strategy for Responsible Sustainable Development (StaRs). In 2020, PNG submitted its Enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).PNG hosts one of the world's largest primary forest and 7% of the world¿s biodiversity, and are increasingly at risk through subsistence and commercial agriculture, and illegal logging. The sector faces major challenges in governance and law enforcement.FCCB is on top of EU's domestic and global agenda, notably the external component of the EU Green Deal as well as EU policies on forestry, climate change adaptation and mitigation, emission trading, carbon capture, use and storage, and biodiversity1, combined with global agreements, the Paris Agreement, the conclusions of COP 26 and the global biodiversity framework.…
