Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires increased global climate action, especially reduced deforestation and restoration of forests to protect and rebuild ecosystems carbon stocks. Based on a sound analysis of existing multilateral cooperation the paper presents five recommendations to increase climate ambition of the G20 countries in the respective policy field: increasing stakeholder participation to improve ownership, establishing a facility to provide a global reference data set of land use emissions, jurisdictional approaches to enhance private sector engagement and increasing integration of forest protection and restoration pledges and policies into NDCs and COVID-19 recovery plans.
