Resilience to climate change

RMFN–Asia will develop, highlight and share knowledge on nature-based approaches that build resilience to climate change in forest landscapes. We will enhance the knowledge and resources available to Model Forest stakeholders, facilitating adaptive learning about climate-related threats and responses. To build resilience, we will develop diverse partnerships and approaches that reflect the social and ecological complexity of Asia’s Model Forest landscapes. 

We will strengthen equity and social inclusion, promote landscape biodiversity and combine traditional knowledge with emerging tools and technologies. Our focus on climate resilience should increase policy support and funding for Model Forests, identify new livelihood opportunities, and raise awareness among youth and others about the importance of sustainable forest landscapes for future generations. We also expect it to contribute to the development and implementation of local, national and regional policy.
