With the goal of coordinating planning and controlling environmental and forestry development within the Papua Ecoregion, the Papua Ecoregion Development Control Center (P3E Papua), supported by FORCLIME, conducted an FGD on Environmental and Forestry Development Planning in Sorong City, West Papua from 23 - 24 September 2022. The purpose of this meeting was to synergize the national environmental and forestry development planning agenda with regional apparatus organizations that relate to the Strategic Agenda of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), specifically the implementation of FOLU Net Sink 2030, as stipulated under Minister of Environment and Forestry Decree No. 168/MENLHK/PKTL/PLA.1/2/2022.

The FGD was opened by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Dr. Ir. Bambang Hendroyono, M.M., who is also acting as the Director General for the Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and was attended by relevant regional apparatus organizations from the Provincial Governments of Papua and West Papua. Moreover, all KLHK technical implementing units in Papua and West Papua were also present.
