Communities, forests and biodiversity: promoting dialogue, exchange and forest value chains to adapt to and mitigate climate change

The purpose of the consultancy was to carry out the Final Evaluation of the project “Communities, forests and biodiversity: promoting dialogue, exchange and forest value chains to adapt to and mitigate climate change”. The general objective of the intervention was to strengthen the climate change mitigation and adaptation capacity of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Indigenous Peoples’ Organizations (IPOs), intensifying knowledge management and the implementation of strategic climate and forestry actions in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Colombia. Its specific objective was to strengthen integrated forest management models from the perspective of Community-Based Organizations and Indigenous Peoples’ Organizations with a territorial management approach as a mechanism for adapting to and mitigating climate change. This project is part of the Forests, Biodiversity and Ecosystems Sector (FBE) of the EUROCLIMA+ program.
