GLF Forests 2025: Defining the Next Decade of Action
On 24–25 April, GLF Forests 2025 brought together over 2,000 experts, scientists, policymakers, and grassroots leaders in Bonn and online to chart the future of the world’s forests.
As Brazil prepares to host COP30 in the Amazon, the event highlighted urgent action needed to protect forests from deforestation and climate impacts.
Building on insights from COP29 and 30 years of CIFOR-ICRAF research, the conference laid the groundwork for a resilient, just, and productive future for forests.
About this session
Forests are so much more than trees. We know biodiverse forest ecosystems are inherently valuable for all life on Earth, but it is not always clear how humans can sustainably use these resources or how their value should be reflected in management and policy. A new partnership is working to answer these questions by generating evidence and tools that support the sustainable, equitable and safe use of wild species. Join us in this session to learn how the Sustainable Use of Wild Species Transformative Partnership Platform (SU-TPP) is working to secure a vibrant, biodiverse future for forests – beyond trees.
