Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has urged the FAO’s Committee on Forests (COFO) to play a more active role in the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals related to rests and food security.
He asserted, that COFO being the largest repository of knowledge in the world on forests must be involved in the design of forest mitigation initiatives, and the intermediation of climate funds.
He was speaking as the Chairman of the opening ceremony of the Fifth World Forest Week in Rome, Italy.
The other speakers at the event included His Royal Highness Prince Laurent of Belgium, Mr Vidar Helgesen, Minister of Climate and Environment of Norway; Dr. Hoesung Lee, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; Mr Rafael Pacchiano Laman, Minister for Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico; and Mr Jose Graziano da Silva, Director- General of FAO.
