World Forest Week / Semana Forestal Mundial - 4 al 8 octubre de 2010
Translations available in: Spanish (original) | English

World Forest Week - October, 4 - 8 October 2010
Translated into English by: Ivan Bigas
COFO 2010

Forests are key to sustainable development. Although this is a widely held view, there are serious knowledge gaps in understanding how forests contribute to livelihoods, health, education, water and many other areas targeted by internationally agreed development goals. What does society expect of forests and what will be their role in sustainable development? What balance do we need among forests for people, climate change and conservation of biological diversity? Will forest fires become worse as a result of climate change? How will water flows from forests be affected in a changing climate? Are there new sources of finance for forests and how can the benefits of forests be shared widely and equitably? Even if we have the answers to these questions, are we communicating them well? The International Year of Forests 2011 will offer a unique opportunity to further the forest agenda and the forest community should make the best use of it. Are we ready? These questions will capture the attention of the Twentieth Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO), that will be held at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy from 4 - 8 October 2010.

World Forest Week 2

For the second time, COFO will be held in conjunction with World Forest Week - a series of meetings and events sponsored by FAO and its partner organizations and institutions. The events of the Week will be organized around the key topics of COFO and intend to shed more light on key issues and allow for a more detailed discussion. The outcomes of these discussions will thereby contribute to the negotiations of COFO, helping members take informed decisions and finding solid answers to the above questions. The World Forest Week is also an opportunity for sharing state-of-the-art knowledge and informing on major accomplishments and achievements.

An innovative initiative of the World Forest Week will be the international scientific conference on Emerging Economic Mechanisms: Implications for Forest-Related Policies and Sector Governance (5-7 October). co-organised by the University of Tuscia (Italy) and FAO, with the support of IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations). By organizing two panel discussions on forest governance and on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD-plus) with participation from heads of forestry and lead scientists the event is expected to help in removing traditional disciplinary boundaries and fostering a continued science-policy dialogue.
