About the event
The Bureau of the eighteenth session of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF18) decided to convene this event to seize the opportunity of the ongoing preparations for the SDG Summit in September 2023, and considering the current global economic situation, the prospect for a global recession, and increased energy and commodity prices.
