The UK’s Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Thérèse Coffey, MP, and the Lands Minister met strategically on Friday, May 5, 2023, in London, United Kingdom.
The meeting’s main topics included the Sustainable Food Systems and Biodiversity Conservation initiatives undertaken by Ghana and the UK, as well as the new and innovative Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership (FCLP), the Voluntary Partnership Agreement on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (VPA-FLEGT), and other issues relating to forests and climate change that concern both countries.
