F.a: CEPN Exchange Project for Conservation of Indonesian Rainforest Being the world’s biggest paper consumer, China holds big responsibility for the environmental impacts of paper and pulp industry. Indonesian government has confirmed that the pulp and paper industry is one of the two main causes (the other being palm oi
l industry) of Indonesian rainforest damage, biodiversity decline, soil erosion and greenhouse gas emissions. Indonesia's forest protection programs are growing fast and the influence of China's market behaviour cannot be ignored. The local environmental p
aper network needs support from Chinese environmental protection activists. In this project CEPN will make a case study on APP and APRIL’s factories in China and their suppliers’ production conditions and environmental impacts, to convey information to
 Chinese consumers, printing industry and the media. Indonesian rainforest protection is striven to be achieved through regional cooperation e.g. by exchanging information and experiences between Chinese and Indonesian environmental groups. The project als
o aims to carry out workshops, where the information and conceptions obtained in a study tour to Indonesian logged areas will be shared with the CEPN member organizations. Furthermore, the aim is to engage Chinese banks in environmental dialogue, and to ac
tively discuss with them the possibilities to make changes in the financing criteria of their investments to better meet the environmental requirements.CEPN receives advisory support for their project from the North American and European Environmental Pape
r Networks that have a broader experience in the field. Green Camel Bell is (GCB) was established in 2004 to protect the environment and restore the ecological system in West China. It acts as a legal holder and financial coordinator for the China Environm
ental Paper Network (CEPN), which will be implementing the project. Since its founding, the GCB has played an active role in combating environmental crisis, carrying out public environmental education, promoting environmental activities in schools and trai
ning environmental volunteers etc. especially in Gansu. The CEPN network, which was established in 2010 with Siemenpuu's support, focuses on environmental impacts of pulp and paper industry. It encourages consumers to put pressure with their choices on the
 paper companies for more sustainable operation. It also aims to change the position and financial policy of Chinese banks in the investment issues of the paper industry.

Lao/SUFORD-SF Sustainable Forest Development Laos/SUFORD-SF Kestävä metsätaloushanke Finnish support to the forest sector in Lao PDR started in 1995 with the Forest Management and Conservation Project (FOMACOP) which piloted an approach to participatory management of production forests called ?Village Forestry?. 2004 through 2008 began the
 initial phase of the Sustainable Forestry for Rural Development (SUFORD) Project in the form of parallel financing with the World Bank. The overall objective is to support the sustainable management of natural production forests in order to alleviate the 
rural poverty in the project provinces. In recent years SUFORD has been the largest development assistance project operating in the forest sector in Lao PDR and is recognised as an important resource in supporting national-level strategic decision-making w
ith the information and knowledge accumulated from the ground. SUFORD has been approached by the Government of Laos (GoL) to assist them in regulatory development for benefit distribution schemes. Several other partners are increasing their support with pa
rticular interest upon forestry issues related to climate change. There have been ongoing efforts to develop research pilot activities and support for developing a Lao national program in Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+). Additi
onally the programme is seen by GoL as an input into its broader rural development activities. Sustainable Forest Development - Sustainable Financing Phase Project SUFORD-SF defines the Lao ? Finland cooperation in the forest sector for the period of 2013 
? 2018. It is envisaged to be an exit phase of the long time support. It is designed to be tied with the World Bank?s Forest Investment Programme (FIP)/ IDA programme; where the Government of Finland support is mainly in the form of Technical Assistance (T
A) while the FIP/IDA programme provides the operational resources. The structure objectives and results have been adjusted to the FIP/IDA programme. The Project aims to secure effective implementation of sound policy and legal frameworks and forest managem
ent practices enabling environmentally socially and economically sustainable management of production forests and enhanced contribution to poverty alleviation. Suomi on tukenut Laosin metsäsektoria yhteistyössä Maailmanpankin kanssa metsien hoito- ja suojeluhankkeen (FOMACOP) kautta vuosina 1995-2000 ja kestävän metsätalous- ja maaseutukehityshankkeen (SUFORD) kautta vuodesta 2003.Esitettävää hanketta (S
UFORD-SF) on suunniteltu yhdessä Laosin maa- ja metsätalousministeriön ja Maailmanpankin kanssa vuodesta 2011. Kyseessä on jatkovaihe aiemmalle yhteistyölle ja se on suunniteltu viimeiseksi Suomen kahdenväliseksi hankkeeksi Laosin metsäsektorilla. H
ankkeen on tarkoitus toimia osana Maailmanpankin FIP-ohjelmaa (Forest Investment Programme) niin että Suomen tuki keskittyy tekniseen apuun. Hankkeen päätavoitteena on saada Laosin metsäsektorista taloudellisesti omavarainen ja tehostaa metsien merkity
stä taloudellisessa ympäristöllisessä ja inhimillisessä kehityksessä. Suomen rahoitusosuus hankkeessa on 1094 miljoonaa euroa.
