As climate change poses a growing threat to life around the world, the global community has increased mitigation and resiliency efforts through international commitments such as the Paris Agreement. A vital component of this treaty, the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) was developed to build confidence in countries’ individual climate actions. Now, with the requirements of the ETF coming due in 2024, countries are finding solutions for improved collection, analysis and dissemination of forest and emission data to create a strong basis for reporting.   The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is among the UN agencies supporting these efforts,...

A Rahma (Dhina) Maulidhina, de 20 años, le fascinan los bosques desde que era joven; sobre todo los de su país natal, Indonesia.

Action is needed to successfully meet the climate targets outlined in international treaties, such as the Paris Agreement, which set the goal of limiting global warming to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve this goal, the Paris agreement called on countries to make individual commitments (nationally determined contributions or NDCs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While such pledges offer promising results, global plans must turn into global action. However, in many cases, limitations and barriers continue to hinder such climate mitigation efforts. The project, “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest),” was developed to increase the...
