Forests Asia Summit 2014

5-6 May 2014 | Jakarta, Indonesia

.
The Forests Asia Summit 2014 took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 5-6 May 2014. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Ministry of Forestry, Indonesia, organized the conference. CIFOR is part of the CGIAR Consortium and is based in Bogor, Indonesia.

The summit addressed themes related to the landscape approach, which integrates the land-based sectors of forestry, agriculture, fisheries, livestock, mining, and urban land use as elements of an overall sustainable development agenda. The meeting addressed five main themes: governance and legal frameworks to promote sustainable landscapes; investing in landscapes to promote green returns; climate change and low-emissions development on the ground; forest landscapes for food and biodiversity; and changing communities, sustainable landscapes, and equitable development.

President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono opened the summit. Many high-level representatives of government and the private sector attended the event, including environment ministers from Brunei, Myanmar, Peru and Singapore, senior officials, and leaders from the agriculture, banking, oil palm and timber-related industries. Summit discussions began with a high-level panel on ‘Green Growth in Southeast Asia,’ followed by parallel discussion forums on the themes of the conference, which took place over the two days.
