Photo Stories & Forest Benefit-Sharing Lessons

​This session will highlight Ecuador’s experience in developing a fair and inclusive REDD+ Benefit-Sharing Plan, featuring voices from Indigenous and Afro-descendant leaders, as well as perspectives from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Kenya.

​We’ll begin with a photo exhibition celebrating the deep connection between forests and the communities who protect them, followed by a dynamic panel discussion on building resilience through equitable climate finance.
