Deforestation roadmaps are only as good as the monitoring systems behind them. If there is no transparent accounting for the carbon stored in these forests, the roadmap is just a set of goals without a way to verify success.

Exactly. We need to see the actual funding mechanisms. Who is paying for the protection of these areas, and how does that money reach the local communities instead of getting stuck in government bureaucracy?

Interesting to see the focus on Melanesia. Ocean health and forest cover are the two biggest levers for natural carbon capture. It is a good reminder that decarbonization is not just about solar panels and batteries.
