The Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force works closely with member states and provinces to help develop and update jurisdictional strategies for REDD+, low-emissions development, and bioeconomy. We enable secretaries, key civil servants, and their civil society partners to implement these crucial strategies bymapping implementation capacity, addressing key barriers, creating learning and exchange opportunities across jurisdictions, and providing technical support.
By fostering connection, shared purpose, and practical skills, we build a resilient network of public servants and civil society actors. This continuity helps sustain progress across political transitions.
