Last week, African Conservation Development Group Chairman Alan Bernstein spoke of how forestLAB will support the development of models that address the multiple challenges faced by African countries. Our five-year initial research programme has received USD 5 million seed funding from African Conservation Development Group.

We were delighted to have CAFI🌳 Head @berta_pesti attend our launch event as a panellist. The forests of Central Africa play a key role in mitigating against global climate change and their continued protection needs to be ensured.

COP26 Monday highlight? High on my list, commitment to end deforestation by 2030, with support for indigenous communities, and funding to help protect the Congo Basin, where Grantham LSE 's forestLAB is starting some exciting research. Still need actions, not just words.

With the data to monitor carbon sequestration and potentially make conservation profitable, other nations could learn from Gabon’s approach to its forests. For African Business, I spoke to some of the key players involved: bit.ly/3mEhbIY ConseilClimatGabon African Conservation Development Group forestLAB

ACDG is similarly adopting a scientific approach, through its newly formed research hub forestLAB, to better understand carbon stocks and the natural capital value of forests in Gabon. ecosystemmarketplace.com/articles/new-e…
