SUMMARY:Can Deforestation be Ended by 2030?
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSpeakers on the panel\, which will be moderated by Geography Professor Rinku Roy Chowdhury\, will include: \n\n\nCarolina Zambrano-Barragán\, director of programs at the Climate and Land Use Alliance\n\n\nCarolina Genin\, Brazil initiative lead at the Climate and Land Use Alliance\n\n\nIliana Monterroso\, Mexico and Central America initiative at the Climate Land Use Alliance\n\n\nJason Cole\, program director\, environment\, at Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies\n\n\nJoko Arif\, director\, global climate initiative at the  David and Lucile Packard Foundation\n\n\nThe 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: \n\nProtecting and enhancing community and Indigenous rights to land and territorial control\nInfluencing the international trade in commodities implicated in forest loss and human rights abuses\nChanging systems of oil palm\, timber\, livestock\, and other production that otherwise drive deforestation\nNegotiating and advocating for public policy change.\n\nThis 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. \nThis event will be followed by a reception hosted by the Clark Center for the Study of Natural Resources Extraction and Society (Extractives@Clark)
