The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Multi-stakeholder forums pool expertise from different perspectives in order to develop solutions to complex problems in a participatory manner. The IPCC plays a central role in the development of the Forest Climate Standard. Since its foundation in 2021, it has acted as an advisory body that makes recommendations on the design of the standard. This gives the Forest Climate Standard legitimacy through the interest groups involved.
