Objective 1: Maintained Forest ResourcesReduce the pressures on high conservation value forests by addressing the drivers of deforestation
• Outcomes
– Cross-sector policy and planning approaches at appropriate governance scales, avoid the loss of high conservation value forests
– Innovative mechanisms avoid the loss of high conservation value forest
Objective 2: Enhanced Forest Management Maintain flows of forest ecosystem services and improve resilience to climate change through SFM
• Outcomes:
– Increased application of good management practices in all forests by relevant government, local community and private sector actors
– Increased contribution of sustained forest ecosystem services to national economies and local livelihoods
Objective 3:Restored Forest EcosystemsReverse the loss of ecosystem services within degraded forest landscapes
• Outcomes:
– Integrated landscape restoration plans to maintain forest ecosystem services are implemented at appropriate scales by government, private sector and local community actors
Objective 4: Increased Regional and Global CooperationEnhance regional and global coordination on efforts to maintain forest resources, enhance forest management, and restore forest ecosystems through the transfer of international experience and know-how
• Outcomes
– Improved collaboration between countries and across sectors on the implementation of SFM
