 XV World Forestry CongressSeoul, Republic of Korea
From: 02.05.2022 to: 06.05.2022The XV World Forestry Congress will provide a crucial opportunity for the global forestry community to consider the state and future of world forestry, particularly in the context of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic while striving to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Congress will showcase the essential role of forests in the global sustainable development agenda – comprising, among other things, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Global Forest Goals (GFGs), the Paris Agreement on climate change, the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework – and it will identify key measures and recommendations for enhancing this role. Guided by six sub-themes, the Congress will help ensure that forests are an integral part of discussions and decisions on sustainable development because of their importance for the health, well-being and stability of the planet and its peoples. The following is a selection of events conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and other organizations, some of which included presentations and interventions by Mountain Partnership members highlighting the importance of mountain ecosystems. The recordings will be available on the associated World Forestry Congress pages for each session/event: Main programme Setting the stage: Landscape approach and cooperation in forest management Forest-water connections to achieve the SDGs Partnerships with Indigenous Peoples and local communities that deliver sustainable forest management in fragile ecosystems Partnerships and collaboration for sustainable forest management The way forward – enhancing partnerships for sustainable forest management Side events Protective functions of forests in a changing climate: 70 years of European experience Strengthening community resilience using techniques and knowledge for disaster risk reduction and damage mitigation Managing forests for water Promotion of REDD+ through the participation of the private sector: the implementation of REDD+ under the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) |
