Pulp, paper and wood industries

Activities

The main activities related to pulp and paper consist in providing assistance and transfer of technology in the development, planning and management of wood-based industries, in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.

Other main tasks include establishing viable wood-based industries, organizing training activities in planning and management of wood-based industries in developing countries, supporting, collecting and disseminating information on wood-based industries, and providing technical services to the FAO Advisory Committee on Paper and Wood Products (ACPWP).

Activities related to climate change are becoming increasingly important, including organizing expert meetings and preparing position papers.
