Over 186 experts from 87 countries and over 20 organizations, international institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), met from 16-18 November 2005 for a country-led initiative in support of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) on “Scoping for a Future Agreement on Forests.” The objective of the event was to contribute towards the preparations for UNFF-6 in order to help it achieve a consensus. Participants drew from the Chair’s text of UNFF-5 to explore and develop further some of the concepts and ideas on the future of the International Arrangement on Forests (IAF). A Co-Chairs’ Report was developed on the basis of the discussions and will be forwarded to the UNFF Secretariat prior to UNFF-6. IISDRS coverage.
