Progress and prospects about the preservation and sustainable management of tropical forests were examined during the 6^th edition of the One Forest Summit which took place in Libreville (Gabon) on March 1^st and 2^nd, bringing together representatives of governmental and non-governmental institutions, private companies, think tanks, civil society and indigenous peoples’ organisations. A roadmap for new commitments was developed – named the “Libreville Plan” – which includes the funding of a mechanism to remunerate exemplary countries via “biodiversity credits”, a new scientific project with the aim of measuring the net balance of carbon sequestration and mapping the most vital carbon and biodiversity reserves in the Amazon, Africa and Asia, and a strategy to generate 10 million jobs by 2030 in activities related to sustainable exploitation of tropical forests (“10by30” strategy).
