Mainstreaming biodiversity in the forest sector
A session at the GLF Biodiversity
Digital Conference: One World - One Health
Online
28 Oct 2020
09:00-10:30 UTC+1 (Bonn time)
An event co-hosted by FTA and FAO
Biodiversity is already a well-recognized element of sustainable forest management (SFM). The role of forests in maintaining biodiversity is also explicitly recognized by the UN Strategic Plan for Forests 2017-2030. The purpose of this session is to discuss the state of mainstreaming biodiversity in the forest sector, take stock of existing concepts and tools for integrating biodiversity in forest management and make recommendations for future actions. The results of the discussion will inform the research of FTA as well as preparatory work towards the implementation of FAO’s Strategy on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors.
Plenaries, sessions and launchpads will be available in three languages: English, Spanish and French.
The session will be organized around a high-level panel, chaired by Robert Nasi, Director General of CIFOR and Managing Director of CIFOR-ICRAF, including:
