World Forestry Congress

02/05/2022 - 06/05/2022

The World Forestry Congress organized by FAO and the Korea Forest Service, Republic of Korea (KFS) will provide a unique opportunity for the global forestry community to consider the state and future of world forestry, particularly in the context of the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, while striving to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The Congress will focus on defining the role of forests in the global developmental agenda (2030 Agenda) and other major agreements (Global Forest Goals, Paris Agreement, post-2020 global biodiversity framework) and identify key measures that must be put in place as the forest sector adjusts to the new reality and aims to help "build back better". Forests must be an integral part of discussions and decisions to be made on sustainable development because this will determine the health, wellbeing and stability of the planet and the people.
