From Roadmap to Movement: Building a Civil Society Coalition to End Deforestation

This is a small, partner-led workshop during the Bonn Climate Intersessional, focused on building a coordinated civil society movement to support delivery of the COP30 deforestation roadmaps.

This session is designed as a closed, working discussion bringing together a diverse group of civil society organisations, Indigenous Peoples’ and Local Community leaders, and technical partners.

The objective is to move beyond consultation and begin shaping the roadmap as a living political process — one that drives ambition, strengthens accountability, and supports delivery on the ground.

In particular, the discussion will focus on:

• Developing a shared narrative around the role of deforestation roadmaps as delivery tools
• Identifying a small set of priority “asks” for governments, corporates and financial institutions
• Exploring how we can translate global momentum into country-level action
• Building alignment across organisations to support a more coordinated, visible movement over the coming months

Why this moment matters

With key milestones ahead — including London Climate Action Week, UNGA, and COP30 — there is a strong opportunity to align civil society voices and expectations and help shape how this agenda translates into real-world impact between now and 2030.

This session is intended as a practical starting point for that effort, and a space for open, constructive exchange across organisations.
