One of the central themes of the Week is sustainable forest management (SFM) and climate change, which will include a keynote address by Gro Harlem Brundtland, the UN Secretary-General’s special envoy on climate change. Financing SFM and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), and ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change will also be addressed under this theme.
