8th World Forest Week special event: Sustainable wood and non-wood forest products
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 13/10/2022

Sustainable production and consumption of forest products promotes forest conservation, enhances the value of forests and mitigates climate change. Wood and non-wood forest products and their value chains substantially contribute to rural and urban livelihoods and directly contribute to achieving Global Forest Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, climate and land degradation as well as biodiversity targets.

This event aimed to:

• showcase good practices on the sustainable production and use of forest products to increase awareness on the transformative potential of the forest sector;
• explore efforts to disseminate good practices and advance policies to further expand the production and consumption of sustainable and legal forest products as well as investment in carbon-neutral and resilient economies; and
• provide information on the supply and demand of wood to support policy and investment decisions towards increased sustainable use of wood.
