<p>DFID leads work internationally and across Government to drive efforts to tackle
deforestation and combat illegal logging. It does so directly through bilateral programmes
aimed at supporting countries and businesses to lock out illegal activities, promote
sector reforms, and foster public-private partnerships which catalyse investment into
sustainable land use, including environmental and forest protection. DFID also works
through multilateral instruments that have broader geographic coverage, particularly
through the World Bank’s Forest Investment Programme and the Global Environment Fund.</p><p>
</p><p>DFID, together with the international teams in BEIS and Defra, are actively
engaged in international policy processes to galvanise the action of other governments
and business to stop illegal logging, deforestation and promote sustainable land use.
Most recently, the UK led efforts at the UN Climate Action Summit, to agree actions
to build natural resilience to climate change.</p>
