The Belmont Forum is pleased to announce the launch of a Collaborative Research Action "Tropical Forests: Global Implications and Pressing Actions" (Forests 2024) in partnership with the G20.

The CRA Forests 2024 aims to coordinate actions and projects with a transdisciplinary approach to develop innovative solutions to the challenges faced in tropical forest regions, Amazonia being the largest and most populated. Acknowledging the differences in governance, cultural diversity, and territorial configuration, this CRA spans tropical forests worldwide that face similar challenges.

Proposals submitted to this CRA should encompass elements from at least two of the three areas listed below:

• Area 1: Reduce deforestation, and promote sustainable development and locally-led economies
• Area 2: Ecosystem Function, Connectivity, and Climate Change Science
• Area 3: Environmental Justice and Governance
