Introduction  \n1. Urgent action is needed to address the growing and interconnected crises of poverty, climate change, and biodiversity loss.

Current conservation-only approaches can only do so much to dampen illegal deforestation. Better governance, better management, better business, and improved inclusion are key to managing forest capital and unlocking forest economies built around standing forests that work for people, climate, and nature. The Global Challenge Program: Forests for Development, Climate, and Biodiversity (GCP-F) seeks to shift the paradigm.
