IMD 2015: Mountain Forest Landscapes for Resilient Societies in Africa, Asia and Latin America

Mountain forests landscapes provide essential ecosystem services to sustain human life. However, mountain forests landscapes are almost invisible in national and international climate change strategies.

The Andean Forests Program jointly with the ASEAN Social Forestry Network, African Forest Forum and the Global Program on Climate Change of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation like to invite you to their session that will host key presentations together with an interactive audience discussion that will aim at:

• Enhancing the visibility of the mountain forest landscapes as important resources to reduce climate change impacts and improve quality of life for local people from Africa, Asia an Andean region.
• Highlighting concrete actions from Africa, Asia and the Andean region that are directed towards reducing vulnerability to climate change through sustainable management practices for mountain forest landscapes
•  Audience recommendations for the construction of common agendas that will foster action and knowledge sharing and advocacy.

The ANFOR AFF – ASFN event will take place during the special MOUNTAIN DAY hosted in the Peru Pavilion, at Paris-Le Bourget, from 18.00 to 19.30 hours on 8 (Tuesday) December 2015.

The event is open to all COP21 participants. Registration is not compulsory, but participants are encouraged to reserve a place by registering at our website www.bosquesandinos.org. This will help us organize the reception after the Forum and manage the limited space capacity of the Peru Pavilion.

We look forward to welcoming you in the Peru Pavilion on December 8th, 18.00!
