The conditionality of these pledges, however, is crucial:regions simply do not have sufficient capacity — human resources, institutional capacity, in some cases legal authority — to tackle deforestation alone. They need help. The apparent convergence between marketplace and producer region ambitions has led to surprisingly few partnerships. Only four governments that signed the Rio Branco Declaration in 2014 have established formal contracted partnerships with companies that buy commodities from their jurisdictions. Far more companies have established "soft" partnerships with tropical forest governments through regional coalitions.
The companies that have chosen to partner with governments — Unilever, Mars, Carrefour, Marks & Spencer, to name a few — are essential early movers in what could become an important Fiji Email List new dimension of tropical forest solutions. Many factors contribute to the small number of corporate-government partnerships, including corporate concern that a shift to jurisdictional sourcing of the commodities that they buy from tropical forest regions will expose them to attacks from advocacy NGOs. Most jurisdictions include some "black-listed" producers or processors, presenting risks to jurisdictional sourcing.
Opportunity 1: Create a global enabling environment for corporate-governmental partnerships to prosper, proliferate and help solve tropical deforestation Important networks of tropical forest governments have been created to support "bottom up," government-led strategies to slow deforestation and achieve low-emission development, including, most prominently, the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force (the GCF), the "Sustainable Districts Platform" in Indonesia (Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari–LTKL), the "Green Counties" program (Programa Municípios Verdes) of Pará state, Brazil, and the "Sustainable Counties" program (Programa Municípios Sustentáveis) of Mato Grosso, Brazil.
