On March 11, the minister of the Environment, Carlos Minc, participates in the Paris Forests Meeting. The event happens three months after the UN Conference on Climate Change (COP-15), held in Denmark, which resulted in the Copenhagen Accord.
At the meeting, ministers from different countries and international negotiators intend to give political impulse to facilitate the implementation of commitments taken in Copenhagen to fight deforestation.
The Paris meeting's short term objective is to organize the implementation of actions and early funds for forestry and climate. The event will also serve to deepen the dialogue on the mechanism of REDD+ and to resume discussions on the format of the global climate governance - considering the existing international efforts to curb deforestation and ensuring convergence of the participating ministers' views.
The expected outcomes of the Paris Forests Meeting are: supplementary funding announcements; the definition of guidelines to advance in the implementation and coordination of fast start funding; a set of guiding principles for the future REDD+ mechanism. The meeting will also serve as preparation for the meetings in Oslo (Norway), on forest partnership, and Bonn (Germany) and Cancun (Mexico), on climate.
