PARTNERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 8th\u00a0World Forest Week (WFW2022) will feature a series of inspiring events bringing FAO Member States, a range of partner organizations, leaders, science and youth to discuss a broad range of topics at the margins of the<\/span>\u00a026th Session of the Committee on Forestry<\/a>\u00a0(COFO26).<\/span><\/p>\n

As in previous years, the World Forest Week will provide participants and partner organizations with a unique opportunity to exchange, connect, showcase best practices and actions on the ground, and to contribute from the forest community to the global international debate on forestry and environmental issues. Events organized during the World Forest Week will be virtual and hybrid, organized\/co-sponsored by Members, partner organizations (including the<\/span>\u00a0Collaborative Partnership on Forests<\/a>)\u00a0and FAO.<\/span><\/p>\n

WFW2022 is structured around the priority areas outlined in the<\/span>\u00a0FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031<\/a>\u00a0with its vision of a\u00a0sustainable and food secure world for all<\/em>, in the context of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. FAO seeks transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Side event: \u201cPlanting forests for carbon neutral economies, sustainable landscapes and livelihoods\u201d\u00a0 –\u00a0 Wednesday 5 October from 08:15 to 09:45am in the Red room<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please find attached the programme of the event<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This side-event aims at sharing experiences and current trends in planted forests and at discussing the challenges, opportunities and best practices to enable their expansion as an <\/strong>essential nature-based solution to accelerate the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy, sustainable landscapes and livelihoods opportunities<\/strong>. The event will bring together perspectives from governments, science, civil society, industry and FAO Commissions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alignment with 4 Betters<\/u><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The side-event fits best under Better Environment<\/strong>: Planted forests are a known option for restoration of degraded landscapes. Through the provision of wood products and income generation, community forests and woodlots can reduce pressure on forest reserves and other protected areas. Planted forests recently gained recognition for the multiple ecosystem services they can provide: erosion control, soil fallow, carbon sequestration, and freshwater flow protection, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is relevant to all the other Betters:<\/span><\/p>\n
