High-level reception – Launching the Tropical Deforestation Outlook report

The Rainforest Foundation Norway and the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative in partnership with UNEP will host a high‑level reception during LCAW to mark the release of the Tropical Deforestation Outlook — a comprehensive global assessment of pressures on remaining tropical rainforests and their likely trajectories under different policy and market scenarios.

Continued forest loss poses not only a climate and biodiversity crisis, but growing systemic risks for global markets and supply chains, affecting sectors from energy and technology to food, fashion, and finance.

Bringing together leaders from finance, government, business, civil society, faith communities, Indigenous Peoples’ and local community organisations, the event will explore the growing risks of tropical deforestation, the action needed to accelerate forest protection, and solutions being implemented on the ground.

Agenda:

• 6.30pm:  Arrival – Canapes and refreshments will be served. Experience the Amazonia Forever virtual reality film, bringing the beauty of the forest and the challenges of its protection to life.
• 7pm:  Welcome speech and presentations . Key findings of the report, videos showcasing solutions, high-level policy perspectives, Local communities/Indigenous voices and IRI perspectives.
• 8pm:  Networking reception continues
• 10pm:  Close23 June, 6.30pm to 10pm
