According to Dr. Ruth Turia, Director of the Forest Policy & Planning Directorate of the PNG Forest Authority, Papua New Guinea has not received enough external and internal funding to support REDD+ activities and programs.
Dr Turia said funding is critical to develop the capacity of local communities to look after them in the face of climate change.
She said this after a Forestry Technical Meeting as part of the Pacific Week of Agriculture (PWA) where she delivered an update on PNG’s efforts in REDD+.
