Can Deforestation be Ended by 2030?
2024-09-18 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York)
There is no pathway to mitigating climate change and recovering global biodiversity that does not involve the rapid reversal of deforestation. Achieving this by 2030, a goal set by the international community, requires pursuing a range of strategies in often complex political environments.
Speakers on the panel, which will be moderated by Geography Professor Rinku Roy Chowdhury, will include:

Carolina Zambrano-Barragán, director of programs at the Climate and Land Use Alliance

Carolina Genin, Brazil initiative lead at the Climate and Land Use Alliance

Iliana Monterroso, Mexico and Central America initiative at the Climate Land Use Alliance

Jason Cole, program director, environment, at Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies

Joko Arif, director, global climate initiative at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation

The speakers on this panel are involved in funding diverse partner organizations in Indonesia, Latin America, West Africa, and globally that seek this goal. These strategies include:

Protecting and enhancing community and Indigenous rights to land and territorial control
Influencing the international trade in commodities implicated in forest loss and human rights abuses
Changing systems of oil palm, timber, livestock, and other production that otherwise drive deforestation
Negotiating and advocating for public policy change.

This panel will explain some of this work, discuss its potential and challenges, speak to the place of universities in contributing to these strategies, and reflect on the challenges of actually doing such work as an activist and a professional. There will be ample time for questions and answers with the panelists.
This event will be followed by a reception hosted by the Clark Center for the Study of Natural Resources Extraction and Society (Extractives@Clark)
