Forests around the world - Did you know that forests cover nearly 1/3 of land globally? That’s 4.06 billion hectares.
More than half (54 percent) of the world’s forests is in only five countries – the Russian Federation, Brazil, Canada, the United States of America and China.
FRA is the mechanism for collecting data on two forest-related indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 2015. Specically, data submitted to FRA contribute to reporting on SDG indicator 15.1.1 (forest area as a proportion of total land area in 2015) and indicator 15.2.1 (progress towards sustainable forest management). In other words, there is around 0.52 ha of forest for every person on the planet.
The inception workshop of the recently launched FAO/GEF “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest)" project, funded under the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) trust fund of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The objective of the FAO/GEF CBIT-Forest project is to strengthen institutional and technical capacities of developing countries on forest-related data collection, analysis and dissemination processes, in order to meet the enhanced transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement. Brief information is available here.
The aim of workshop was to:
• Introduce the FAO/GEF CBIT-Forest global project
• Present and discuss the workplan of the project
• Collect comments and suggestions for the implementation of project activities

The rate of destruction of forest cover has significantly increased over the past ten years, particularly in countries in the South. This endangers the overall development of these regions. Southern countries are faced with the erosion of their natural resources. Meanwhile , they suffer the most from climate change, of which deforestation is one of the main causes.
The United Nations declared 2011 the International Year of Forests. Hereby the UN emphasized the importance of extensive forest cover for millions of people around the world. There were initiatives taken at international level, but the challenge remains: the preservation of forests on one hand and the economic development on the other are difficult to reconcile.
Traditionally, the Belgian development strategies focus primarily on economic and social issues. Today they are combining the need for growth and preservation of the environment in their programmes.

“Forests are among the world’s most productive
land-based ecosystems and are essential to life on Earth.”
The United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2030 provides a global framework for
action at all levels to sustainably manage all types of forests and trees outside forests, and to halt
deforestation and forest degradation. The historic agreement on the Strategic Plan was forged at a
special session of the United Nations Forum on Forests in January 2017, and subsequently adopted
by the United Nations General Assembly in April 2017.
At the heart of the Strategic Plan are six Global Forest Goals and 26 associated targets to be achieved
by 2030. These goals and targets, set out in this concise publication, fully encompass and build on the
solid foundation provided by the four Global Objectives on Forests included in the United Nations
Forest Instrument.

UN FORUM ON FORESTS SECRETARIAT | DESA
The Strategic Plan serves as a reference framework for the forest-related work of the United
Nations system and for the fostering of enhanced coherence, collaboration and synergies among
United Nations bodies and partners towards the vision and mission (set out below). It also serves
as a framework to enhance the coherence of and guide and focus the work of the international
arrangement on forests and its components.
A shared United Nations vision
The shared United Nations vision is of a world in which all types of forests and trees outside forests
are sustainably managed, contribute to sustainable development and provide economic, social,
environmental and cultural benefits for present and future generations.
A shared United Nations mission
The shared United Nations mission is to promote sustainable forest management and the
contribution of forests and trees outside forests to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,
including by strengthening cooperation, coordination, coherence, synergies and political
commitment and action at all levels.
5. The Global Forest Goals and targets are voluntary and universal. They support the objectives of the
international arrangement on forests and are aimed at contributing to progress on the Sustainable
Development Goals, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the Paris Agreement adopted under the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and other international forest-related
instruments, processes, commitments and goals.
The vision, principles and commitments set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
provide the context for the Global Forest Goals and targets, which are interconnected and integrate
the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable forest management and
sustainable development.
The Global Forest Goals and targets are intended to stimulate and provide a framework for voluntary
actions, contributions and enhanced cooperation by countries and international, regional,
subregional and non-governmental partners and stakeholders.

20. The UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) is a
functional commission of the UN
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
with universal membership. The Forum is
composed of all Member States of the
United Nations and Member States of
specialized agencies.
Since its inception in 2000, the Forum has
reached numerous milestones including
agreement on the first United Nations
Forest Instrument in 2007, establishment
of the Global Forest Financing Facilitation
Network (GFFFN) in 2015, and agreement
on the first United Nations Strategic Plan
for Forests 2030 in 2017.
The UN Forum on Forests Secretariat, in
the UN Department of Economic and
Social Affairs provides substantive
support to the Forum, prepares technical
reports and analytical studies, and fosters
dialogue to enhance cooperation and
coordination on forest issues.
The Forum is responsible for follow-up
and review of the implementation of the
Strategic Plan, and accordingly, the UNFF
Secretariat assists the Forum to track
progress in the implementation of the
Strategic Plan and disseminates this
information through the Forum website.
At its 13th
session in 2018, the Forum
requested the UNFF Secretariat to
produce a concise publication on the
Global Forest Goals and targets, featuring
infographics, to be used in outreach to a
range of audiences both within and
outside the forest community.
This publication highlights the vision,
mission and Global Forest Goals and
targets of the Strategic Plan. To read the
full text of the UN Strategic Plan for
Forests 2030, please refer to the Forum
