s:1027:"TI Subnational jurisdictional approaches: Policy innovation and partnerships for change AU Stickler, C. AU Duchelle, A.E. AU Nepstad, D. AU Ardila, J.P. AB Key messagesIn a study of subnational jurisdictions across 12 countries, which together contain 28% of the world’s tropical forests, all 39 jurisdictions had made formal commitments to reducing deforestation. Most (38 of 39) had also taken concrete actions to implement these pledges.The majority of these sampled jurisdictions have developed and implemented integrated jurisdictional strategies, robust jurisdiction-wide multistakeholder processes, and quantifiable, time-bound targets that define their vision of sustainability – despite a scarcity of international climate finance to support these and other interventions.Annual deforestation decreased between 2012 and 2017 in just under half of jurisdictions (17 of 39), although any links between actions taken by subnational governments and observed trends in deforestation are yet to be analysed.
