Description
WFSE organized a panel discussion on forest landscape restoration at GLF Climate, Glasgow, 8 November 2021.
The panelists discussed crucial issues and ways forward in advancing sustainable and equitable forest and landscape restoration. The discussion focused on the current forest restoration efforts, which restoration benefits/outcomes are pursued, how the costs of restoration are distributed among different actors, who bears the costs of restoration and who actually benefits from forest restoration, what are the challenges and trade-offs of restoration at local level, and who are the important actors in restoration efforts, who participates in them and in related decision-making, and how should different actors be brought together?
The event was moderated by Glenn Galloway, Director, Master of Sustainable Development Practice program, University of Florida.
Panelists:
Susan Chomba, Director of Vital Landscapes for Africa, World Resources Institute (WRI)
Wil de Jong, Emeritus professor, Kyoto University, Adjunct professor Renmin University of China
