118 The Commission encourages conservation, protection and restoration measures including sustainable forest management, diversifying and adjusting tree species compositions to build resilience, and managing increased risks from pests, diseases, and wildfires.527 The Commission endorses the position that programs to arrest forest degradation and accelerate reforestation must be supported by sustainable international and domestic trade and development policies. States must also “reduce vulnerability and empower local communities and indigenous peoples; redesign agricultural policies to promote sustainable agriculture and food security; and facilitate the alignment of financial flows with international goals to reverse loss and degradation, while ensuring policies are in place in the accelerated transition to a greener economy.”528 “Cooperation, and inclusive decision making, with local communities and Indigenous Peoples, as well as recognition of inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples,” must be made an integral part of such action plans.”529 2.
