Leadership and Collaboration of Sub-National Governments
Join us to learn about the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force and their sub-national work with 38 states and provinces to protect tropical forests and promote sustainable development. The GCFTF promotes low-carbon development and jurisdiction-wide innovation by state-level government as a key part of forest conservation. Limiting factors include legal and political fragmentation, incentives for government leaders, and institutional capacity. How are these challenges addressed? What kinds of public private partnerships can help? What are the advantages of working sub-nationally? What are the current investment strategies at play? Join us to meet GCFTF Project Director Colleen Scanlan Lyons and learn.
