The fourth and final session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF-4) gets underway today in New York. With only eight working days to go, delegates have a formidable workload before them. The two primary goals of IPF-4 are to agree on recommendations to the Commission on Sustainable Development on legal mechanisms, international organizations and multilateral institutions and to complete negotiations on the IPFs entire report, consisting of 12 different programme elements.
