Queen's Commonwealth Canopy

The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy (QCC) is an initiative begun in 2015 as a network of forest conservation programs throughout the Commonwealth of Nations. As of 2016, 16 countries had become involved, with the remainder expected to join by 2018.[1]

The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy was conceived by Frank Field and was officially launched at the 2015 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta.[2] The three organisations behind the project are The Royal Commonwealth Society, the Commonwealth Forestry Association, and Cool Earth.
