Why forests in SDGs?
• Healthy and productive natural systems as
foundation for sustainable development
• Reliance of economies and livelihoods on
ecosystem goods and services
 public and private goods, innovation and resilience
• From a pro-poor perspective, heavy
reliance of poorer and marginalised people
on common property resources

Lessons from MDGs
• Respect ecological limits as will otherwise
undermine gains made in other goal areas
• Restore forest ecosystem health given the
damage already done
• Optimise the contribution of forests to
economic progress and assets for the poor
• Models that reduce inequalities and risks
• Incorporating externalities
• Improving enabling conditions
• Changing norms, behaviours and attitudes
• Investing in resilience

Some REDD+ challenges
Don’t leave any country behind
Tailor-made approaches
Blurred finance
Beyond forests – drivers & carbon accounting
Landscape approach
Social rights agenda – equity, gender
Governance - carbon rights, benefit sharing, safeguards
Green business, sustainable supply chains, ‘insetting’
Local private sector
Lack of demand for REDD+ carbon credits
Feasibility – social, economic, technical, political
