UNFF Major Groups Initiative meeting will be organised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 18-22 March 2013.
The meeting will focus on two case studies on Forests and Economic Development that have been prepared for the event. About 70 people, 10 from each Major Group, are invited plus representatives of UNFF, IUFRO and ITTO. IUFRO will host a side-event at UNFF to report on the Initiative.
IFFA’s work shows how family forest owners and smallholders play an essential role in collaboration with other major groups to push for sustainability in international forest politics.
IFFA is committed to the development and implementation of international communication strategies.
This was the main message when IFFA chair Peter deMarsh addressed the United Nations Forum on forests. The 13th session of the forum was held in New York 7 to 11 May 2018.
- Identify and design mechanisms that recognise the multiple benefit that sustainable forest management and sustainable wood hade in communities, improving livelihood and cost-effective carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.
A sustainable managed forest can have stable carbon stocks while at the same time providing energy, products and meet society’s needs.
