REDD+ in a green economy
Description
Co-hosted by the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and the UN-REDD Programme, the Global Symposium was organized in partnership with the United Nations Office for REDD+ Coordination in Indonesia (UNORCID), the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). Participants from six continents, 24 countries and 31 organisations met to discuss ideas, share experience and best practices.
This report summarises the key discussions from the plenary and working group sessions to synthesise the main take-away messages and content of the Symposium. The report is structured around the four core discussion areas over the Symposium: setting the scene and international context for REDD+ in a green economy; reaching out to the private sector; REDD+ country experiences; and the findings of three working groups on national support, research and development, and coordination.
