Governance and Financing for Building Forest Resilience

At a societal level, better governed and financed forests can provide a continuous flow of ecosystem services to urban, peri-urban, and rural communities. This report (Milestone 13) focuses on cross-cutting, innovative governance models for changemaking and forest resilience. Aside from governance innovations the task also looks at new business and financing models and instruments that can help build forest resilience and support ecosystem-based adaptation in both European countries and China. This report presents the results of a review and analysis of promising examples of innovative forest governance and financing from Europe, China, and elsewhere.
