From Monday 28th June – Thursday 1st July, the Plan Vivo Foundation will be at the Commonwealth Forestry Conference in Edinburgh. The event brings together key actors in forestry from Commonwelath countries. Conference discussions will include:

• Financing opportunities and needs for forestry
• The development of REDD+
• Engaging communities in forestry activities

The Plan Vivo team will be present at the conference and have a stand in the Strathblane Hall. Come and visit our stand to find out about Plan Vivo projects and development with the Plan Vivo Standard and System.

The Plan Vivo Foundation, and representatives from Plan Vivo projects in Mozambique and Uganda, will be speaking about Plan Vivo at the Rework the World conference, which takes place in Sweden, 2-5th June. The event will focus on 100 initiatives from around the world, which could “provide the jobs of tomorrow and help build a more socially, financially and ecologically sustainable world”.

You can come and talk to the Plan Vivo Foundation at our stall at the Human Rights and Climate Challenge Conference Marketplace, which will take place on Monday 23 November 2009 at the Glasgow Science Centre. For more details about the event visit the Scottish Human Rights Commission website.
