Increased GHG sequestration in forestry, i.e., protecting and re-establishing forests for their economic and ecosystem services including as carbon stocks, 3. Deployment of renewable and clean power generation, 4. Use of appropriate advanced technologies in industry, transport, and buildings." (Page 22) "The Ministerial Steering Committee – chaired by H.E.
