Global Landscapes Forum, COP 20 Lima
Landscapes for a new climate and development agenda
The Global Landscapes Forum, held alongside the UN climate negotiations in Lima, Peru, aims to create a platform for positioning landscapes in the new international agreements on climate and sustainable development.
The events bring thousands of negotiators, world leaders, researchers, civil society leaders, business leaders, practitioners and policymakers in agriculture, forestry and development, funding organizations, and media, making it the largest, most influential event outside the UNFCCC COP.
The World Resources Institute joins as an implementing partner in this year’s Forum, along with coordinating partners CIFOR, UNEP, the FAO, and others. WRI and partner projects will be featured throughout the program:
