OTTAWA, ON, Sept. 27, 2024 /CNW/ – There is no solution to climate change and terrestrial biodiversity loss that does not involve healthy forest ecosystems. Canada is deeply committed to the principles of sustainable forest management. We are working with domestic and international partners to support healthy forests for generations to come.

Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced an investment of over $20 million to support initiatives that advance sustainable forest policy and forest stewardship globally. Through Canada’s Global Forest Leadership Program and International Model Forest Network (IMFN), these investments contribute to global climate and biodiversity goals.   

The investments announced today include funding to expand Canada’s international forestry engagement, collaborations and partnerships and to share Canadian expertise abroad. Much of the funding will be delivered through the IMFN. This investment will help IMFN partners in Latin America, Africa and Asia as they transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient and inclusive sustainable development that focuses on the needs of local communities and local governance.

These investments further demonstrate Canada’s commitment to deliver on the Global Forest Finance Pledge and to support nature-based climate solutions and projects that advance forest and landscape restoration, enable inclusive landscape governance and equip the next generation of leaders to address the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.

 “Canada is helping partners around the world to combat the dual challenges of climate change and habitat loss — including across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Canada is leveraging our long history of sustainable forest management practices, including those based on traditional Indigenous knowledge, to the benefit of partners and ecosystems around the world while training the next generation of forest leaders.”

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
