Citizen and Stakeholder Engagement in CSF and forest restoration

Description

FORWARDS is a Horizon Europe project that will prototype the ForestWard Observatory, a pan-European monitoring and evaluation tool that will help demonstrate the impact of climate change on forests and guide decision-making for practical forest management. To set up the Observatory and support the implementation and scaling up of CSF and restoration sites, this call seeks to promote greater engagement of citizens and stakeholders in advancing CSF and restoration efforts. It aims to (1) increase awareness of the need for CSF, (2) assess the potential social impacts of CSF, and (3) develop inclusive initiatives that empower local communities, organizations, and other stakeholders to actively co-create and contribute to CSF decision-making processes and the development of policy recommendations. Up to five projects will be awarded a maximum of €17,500 with activities set to begin in December 2024 and lasting up to 18 months.
