INTERLAKEN+10: Governing Forest Landscapes: Lessons Learnt from Ten Years of Experience and The Way Forward Post-2015
3-6 February 2015 | Interlaken, Switzerland
|
Highlights for Friday, 6 February 2015
|
|
|
|
On Friday, plenary met in the morning to hear thematic inputs on the International Model Forest Network, the Forest Legality Alliance, and the XIV World Forestry Congress, to be held in September 2015 in Durban, South Africa. A roundtable discussed the global experience with forest governance monitoring and assessment and ways forward, and held an interactive session with country experts from Indonesia, the Russian Federation and Tanzania. The draft workshop report was then tabled and considered in breakout groups.
The concluding plenary heard an intervention from UNFF11 Bureau Member Vicente Bezerra, Brazil, who provided some considerations on the future of the International Agreement on Forests (IAF). Delegates from the Youth Group then outlined the work undertaken during their parallel conference. They shared their vision, which includes an increased participation of youth in forest governance processes, noting that "the world we live in is not the world youth envisions."
Plenary subsequently addressed the workshop report, focusing on the recommendations directed to UNFF with regard to UNFF11 and the post-2015 IAF. Representatives of the breakout groups, and other participants, shared detailed comments. It was announced that the recommendations will be revised and, following an electronic consultation, they will be finalized by the end of the following week for transmission to UNFF11.
The workshop closed at 5:30pm.
