Purpose
The International Forum on Globalization (IFG) will convene and facilitate a conference in Washington DC – in September or October of 2009 – to enable key civil society organizations to develop a consensus on mechanisms for consultation and participation of forest communities in the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) portion of a post-Kyoto Climate Change Treaty. IFG will develop and disseminate a report containing an analysis of the conference in order to inform the global community about mechanisms to achieve the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples, forest dwellers and local communities in any international agreement on REDD.
