The relevance of Information Management and Transparent Communication for Investments in Sustainable Forestry

It is fast becoming common knowledge as to how vital it is to preserve our forests and restore critical landscapes. But for various reasons, the process can be challenging and complex. Some essential aspects of investing in sustainable forest and landscape management are ‘efficient information management’ and ‘transparent communication’. On several instances, these aspects are the difference between successful and failed projects. Despite that, they often get neglected in the face of discourses on financing, politics and climate impact. But, at OpenForests, we haven’t lost sight of just how crucial information management and project communication is. We continuously address it through our work and along the way, look to engage the accountable stakeholders.

We take GLF Luxemburg 2019 as an occasion to initiate and foster a deeper discussion about information transparency as a necessary precondition for successful finance of forest restoration.
