The COVID-19 Forestry Webinar Week, which takes place from 22 to 25 June 2020, will feature a series of virtual sessions in the week in which COFO and the World Forest Week were originally scheduled. The sessions, scheduled from 12:00 to 15:00 CET each day, comprise high-level events as well as technical thematic sessions. Thematic sessions are organized by the FAO’s Forestry Department with partners within and outside FAO. 

The objective of the COVID-19 Forestry Webinar Week is to:  

• assess impacts of pandemics on people and forests; 
• identify and discuss possible responses that help mitigate impacts on people and forests and help address the situation in the short term while at the same time contributing to building a more resilient and sustainable future;
• propose follow-up steps, including policy dialogue and mobilizing of resources and action that better enables the forest sector to help rebuild sustainable and resilient societies (building back better).
