The co-benefits of tropical forests: nature-based solution to circular bio-economies 

The concept of enriching forest biodiversity and livelihoods through circular bio-economies based on sustainably managed and used forest resources is gaining global traction and informing international trends.

This concept is particularly significant for tropical forests and those who depend on them for their livelihoods. Accounting for 45% of global forests, tropical forests, terrestrial and coastal, host biodiverse ecosystems, contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation while enhancing livelihoods, reducing poverty (among other benefits). This event will showcase the value and future importance of these forests as a critical nature-positive initiative for life on earth.

The event will take place on the sidelines of the Global Nature Positive Summit from 13:15 - 14:15 JST.
