The presentation of Simon Milledge, a principal researcher with IIED's Natural Resources Group, to the IIED-hosted Moving ahead with Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) workshop on 9-10 April 2014. The presentation was made in the sixth session on exploring synergies between REDD+ and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and focused on what formulation of forest-based SDGs, targets and indicators might best complement REDD+. More information on Milledge's work: http://www.iied.org/users/simon-milledge. Further details of the workshop and IIED's work on REDD+ are available via http://www.iied.org/coverage-moving-ahead-redd-prospects-challenges-workshop.

Simon Milledge10 April 2014Why forests in SDGs?
• Healthy and productive natural systems as foundation for sustainable development
• Reliance of economies and livelihoods on ecosystem goods and services
public and private goods, innovation and resilience
• From a pro-poor perspective, heavy reliance of poorer and marginalised people on common property resources

Simon Milledge10 April 2014Lessons from MDGs
• Respect ecological limits as will otherwise undermine gains made in other goal areas
• Restore forest ecosystem health given the damage already done
• Optimise the contribution of forests to economic progress and assets for the poor
• Models that reduce inequalities and risks• Incorporating externalities• Improving enabling conditions• Changing norms, behaviours and attitudes• Investing in resilience
