With the theme "Forests for People, Forests for Green Growth", this award supports the designation made by the United Nations in 2011 as the International Year of Forests.

• Contribute to a significant reduction in carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
• Maintain forest ecosystems to improve resilience to climate change.
