Location: Rome, Italy

Launched in 2019, the "Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector” (CBIT-Forest) is a project implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) trust fund established under the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This project was designed to increase the capacity of developing countries to collect, analyse and disseminate forest-related data. These efforts would in turn enhance reporting and transparency. Project activities have been implemented at the global, regional and national levels, with key lessons learnt at each level. In this context, this webinar, “Learning from experiences to increase forest data transparency for climate action” will highlight key results of the project, including main messages and the products and events used to promote capacity building and knowledge exchanges. Objectives of the webinar:   Inform about the results from the CBIT-Forest project; Share knowledge and experience from pilot countries participating in the CBIT-Forest project: Côte d'Ivoire, Guatemala, Thailand and Uganda; Launch of the publication ‘Towards open and transparent forest data for climate action: Experiences and lessons learnt’.
