  2. AG Role and Relationships • An independent group to facilitate a broad range of direct input from civil society actors on issues of forest governance to forest-climate initiatives • Formal link with the UN-REDD Programme made in Panama • Current members: ACICAFOC, CAPRi, Civic Response Ghana, FERN, Forest Peoples Programme, Intercooperation, RECOFTC, RFN, RRI and TEBTEBBA • Not a representative group and not a substitute for the civil society representatives and Indigenous Peoples representatives to the PB

  3. Governance meeting update • First governance meeting was held on June 6 in Bonn with a majority of the members (ACICAFOC, Civic Response, FERN, Rainforest Foundation Norway, Rights and Resources) • Name: Advisory Group on Forests, Rights and Climate Change. • The group has a convening function to bring together civil society, Indigenous Peoples and international and national policy-makers • Decisions on membership will wait until a larger meeting of the AG is convened on July 9, but decided that the group will invite members that ensure diversity and that includes regional members engaged in networks • The AG will be led by two co-chairs: one coming from a southern country and one from a northern country. The election of chairs will take place during the full meeting of the AG. • RRI will continue to serve as the secretariat until the full meeting of the AG. In the meantime participants committed to request financial and human capacities from members – not seeking funds from UNREDD. • The group will stop its activities after 3 years.

  4. Participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities • Regional representation on AG • Regional Chatham House style meetings • Outreach through engaging members’ networks • Facilitate the direct contribution through events like the Working Lunch, Chatham House style meetings, etc.
