FAO publishes the updated Global Plan for Action for the Conservation, Sustainable Use and Development of Forest Genetic Resources, agreed by the Commission at its Twentieth Regular Session and adopted by the FAO Conference in 2025.

FAO launches The Second Report on the State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources and a new global information system (SilvaGRIS). The report draws on data and information from 77 countries, representing more than three-quarters of the world’s forests. It provides the second global assessment of forest genetic resources and examines progress in implementing the Global Plan of Action. 

The Commission takes note of the Second Report on the implementation of the Global Plan of Action and invites countries to continue monitoring the status of forest genetic resources and their implementation efforts. 

The Commission adopts a funding strategy for the implementation of the Global Plan of Action and takes note of the first report on its implementation.
