Forests, people and planet date gives communities priority

Last week, humanity celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity, recognising that agrifood sectors – crop and livestock production, fisheries and aquaculture, and forestry – are the foundation for nature’s sustainability.

Tomorrow, a critical meeting of experts, scientists, practitioners, policymakers and grassroots leaders, including the youth from around the world, will discuss the fate of forests as vital ecosystems in biodiversity amid the climate crisis.

Organised by Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), the Forests, People, Planet Conference is a follow-up to the GLF meeting last month that brought together over 3,000 scientists, practitioners and allies from 145 countries in Bonn, Germany, to shape the next decade of forest action.
