🌎Taking place in Belém, Brazil, #COP30 has put the spotlight on one of the world’s most sprawling and significant ecosystems: the Amazon rainforest. As governments, civil society, and the private sector congregate in this irreplaceable forest to chart a path forward on climate change, we must recognize initiatives that are already succeeding in adaptation and mitigation. In particular, the International Model Forest Network (IMFN).

🍁IMFN offers valuable lessons to the international community on how to leverage participatory approaches and Nature-based Solutions to meet global climate and biodiversity goals. From community-led Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) and Nature-Positive value chain creation to gender-responsive governance and targeted biodiversity conservation, Model Forests represent the future of climate action—a future that is not only resilient and equitable, but hopeful.

🌀Climate change is an existential threat to nature and society.

🌐 As climate shocks intensify and the impacts of anthropogenically induced global warming become increasingly damaging to people and ecosystems, there is an urgent need to promote adaptation and mitigation while simultaneously securing biodiversity, ecosystem services, and socioeconomic co-benefits. Model Forests provide valuable lessons and replicable models, balancing forest conservation and human needs while acting as Nature-based Climate Solutions.

⭐ To effectively leverage forests to meet global environmental goals, we must address the gender imbalance between those who have decision-making power and those who are impacted by those decisions.

👩 Although tremendous progress has been made towards restoring and conserving the world’s forests, especially regarding strategies that prioritise the voices of local communities, significant barriers remain that hinder the full participation of women. Model Forests present valuable strategies and replicable models that can ensure forests are managed in ways that are gender-responsive, participatory, and rooted in equity.

🐛 🌿 The diversity of life on Earth, or biodiversity, defines the world as we know it. 🦎🍄

🌼 However, as our planet battles issues like habitat loss, climate change, and natural resource exploitation, biodiversity is rapidly declining. Going forward, we need to identify sustainable and lasting solutions to protect Earth’s most valuable asset, life itself. Model Forests present unique strategies and spaces to protect, conserve, and restore biodiversity for the continued survival and diversity of life on our planet.

🔥 Globally, wildfires are emerging as a leading threat to forests.

🍁 As climate change continues to further alter weather patterns and disturbance regimes, the severity and frequency of wildfires are predicted to worsen. Subsequently, there is an urgent need to implement integrated fire management into forest stewardship strategies. Model Forests provide valuable lessons and case studies on how to successfully execute wildfire management strategies that are centred around Nature-based Solutions, community engagement, and knowledge sharing.
