Beyond commitments: How can Nationally Determined Contributions contribute to forest governance and resilient local communities?

In 2018, Fern and our partners revealed that many African states’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) pledges were not considering the need to improve forest governance. As countries are now preparing and communicating new or updated NDCs to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat we have analysed progress, challenges and opportunities in six African countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Liberia and Republic of the Congo.

This is a brief overview of a detailed study, which Fern and our local partners will launch in 2021 at www.fern.org/ beyondcommitments.
