The Tropical Forest Group is an accredited observer to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and has played an important role in advocating for a more robust and progressive REDD+ policy at the international level since 2005. We have a volunteer team of 18 affiliates (including scientists, artists, media professionals, and conservationists) and have had more than 100 volunteers help out on previous tropical forest campaigns, parades, and high-impact media events. In Copenhagen TFG worked behind the scenes in keeping REDD on the international agenda, and in Cancun (COP16) we will continue to push for progressive REDD+ policy.
