As governments around the world turn to the benefits of sustainable forest management and forest products to support climate action and post-pandemic economic recovery, a new agreement struck today at the World Forestry Congress in Seoul will help advance forestry solutions. The United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) Secretariat and the International Council of Forest and Paper Associations (ICFPA) announced a new partnership that will make ICFPA the focal of the forest sector globally, providing a framework for the two organizations to work together to discuss and implement forest-related policies. …”The private sector is fundamental in the promotion and implementation of sustainable forest management,” said Barbara Tavora-Jainchill, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. …”There is no path to a lower carbon economy without sustainable forest management and sustainably sourced forest products,” said Derek Nighbor, President, International Council of Forest and Paper Associations [and FPAC CEO].
