Upon the request of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) at the 27th Session of APFC held in Colombo in October 2017 FAO is currently in the process of formulating the Third Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study (APFSOS III). It will help to provide a clear picture of emerging opportunities and challenges for forestry in Asia and the Pacific to 2030 and 2050, laying out a solid foundation for long-term strategic planning by decision-makers including governments, investors, industries, international organizations, and civil society organizations.

As part of APFSOS III, a technical workshop on Forest Governance Trends and Outlook for 2030 and 2050 will be held on 27 September at RECOFTC – The Center for People and Forest, Bangkok. The workshop is co-organized by the RECOFTC, Asia Pacific Association of Forestry Research Institutions (APAFRI) and FAO. It will be attended by around 20 international experts and key organizations in Asia and the Pacific.
