OUR G L OB A L WOR K FORESTS THE CHALLENGE AHEAD Despite widespread recognition of the importance of forests, particularly in tackling the climate crisis, deforestation remains stubbornly high - as shown in our Deforestation Fronts report. One of the greatest challenges is finance, with far too little allocated for forest protection and restoration, and incentives not reaching the ground. From increasing the amount of finance for forests through nature-based solutions, to increasing incentives and securing rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in forest landscapes, advocating for greater leadership from the private sector in tackling the drivers of forest loss, and accelerating implementation of forest landscape restoration globally, our work has never been more urgent.
