Brighter Green at SB 46 Bonn: What’s at Steak? Land Use, Livestock, Offsets and the Climate Regime


Brighter Green will be collaborating with our colleagues at the Global Forest Coalition (GFC) and the Friends of the Siberian Forests (FSF) on an event at this year’s Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB 46 Bonn).

The event will discuss the risks and opportunities of addressing unsustainable land use through the climate regime, including livestock production, deforestation, monoculture tree plantations, forest fires, offsets for aviation and other polluting sectors, and the role of international trade.

Speakers will include; Souparna Lahiri, All India Forum on Forest Movements, India; Simone Lovera, Global Forest Coalition, Paraguay; and Simon Fischer, Global Forest Coalition, Germany.
