Call Summary
The Belmont Forum is pleased to announce the launch of a Collaborative Research Action "Tropical Forests: Global Implications and Pressing Actions" (FORESTS 2024) in partnership with the G20.
The CRA FORESTS 2024 aims to coordinate actions and projects with a transdisciplinary approach to develop innovative solutions to the challenges faced in tropical forest regions, Amazonia being the largest and most populated. Acknowledging the differences in governance, cultural diversity, and territorial configuration, this CRA spans tropical forests worldwide that face similar challenges.
This call for proposals recognises the growing threats to those ecosystems and their inhabitants, such as climate change, deforestation, unregulated agroindustry and land conversion, illegal activities, pollution, and environmental/climate injustices. In the global tropical forest regions such as the Amazon, Central America, Asia, and Africa, the well-being and survival of indigenous peoples and local communities depend on the local ecosystem under pressure. The challenges tropical forest regions face vary depending on governance, local ecology, cultural diversity, and territorial configuration.
Registrations are due 12 November 2024, 23:59 UTC. The full proposals due date is to be announced.
