SHAMAR EL-SHEIKH At the COP27 climate conference on Monday, more than 25 nations unveiled a group that they said would make sure they held each other responsible for a commitment to halt deforestation by 2030 and offered billions of dollars to fund their initiatives.
A year after more than 140 leaders pledged at COP26 in Britain to eliminate deforestation by the end of the decade, the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership has its first meeting, which is co-chaired by Ghana and the United States.Since then, there has been uneven progress, with just a few nations implementing more rigorous deforestation and finance policies.
