The National Consultative Workshop was held to establish the link between the contributions of community-based forest management to national climate change plans and nationally-determined contributions (NDCs). The event, entitled Connecting Forests, People and Climate Change Solutions seeked to:
- To develop clear perspectives on the links of social forestry and climate change;
- To renew commitments and support for community-based forest management (CBFM) programs;
- To increase the understanding of stakeholders on climate change action planning and the Philippine NDC process;
- To share good practice on building resilience and mitigating climate change within community managed/ social forestry areas; and
- To develop recommendations and capacity needs on integrating social forestry in NDC planning and implementation.
