The Governors' Climate and Forests Task Force (GCFTF) Annual Meeting 2017, hosted by GCFTF Chair, East Kalimantan is a unique opportunity to advance commitments GCF member states and provinces have made to build robust jurisdictional programs to protect forests and climate while enhancing livelihoods. In particular, GCFT Annual Meeting will serve as a platform for collaboration to create new partnerships between jurisdictions in Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Nigeria, Colombia and the Ivory Coast and the private sector, civil society, indigenous peoples, and financial institutions. The meeting will provide an opportunity to learn about subnational success stories, identify new funding streams for GCFT states and provinces to preserve progress already made and help them reach goals established in the Rio Branco Declaration, and be a catalyst for uniting subnational initiatives in a common voice.
South Pole will be the Climate Neutrality Sponsor of the event. Please contact Russ Cullinane, Head of Operations, Asia Pacific at South Pole Group, for more information.
