The third Forest Day event convened in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 13 December 2009. The event was co-hosted by the Centre for International Forest Research (CIFOR), the Government of Denmark and the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, a partnership of forest-related international organizations formed in 2000 to enhance cooperation on forest issues. The 1600 registered Forest Day 3 participants included government negotiators, scientists and academics, and representatives from non-governmental and indigenous peoples’ organizations and the private sector.
Participants in the one-day event heard keynote statements and convened in three sub-plenary sessions to discuss mitigation, adaptation and degradation, respectively. Participants also attended eight parallel learning events. A summary statement was developed based on participants’ responses to a series of questions posed to the sub-plenary sessions, and was presented to Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, during the closing plenary. De Boer called for capitalizing on the present historical moment, with 43,000 participants registered to attend the UN Copenhagen Climate Change Conference and 120 Heads of State and government scheduled to attend the high-level segment, and suggested that, while politicians will focus on targets, finance, and monitoring, reporting and verification, Forest Day 3 participants could contribute to ensuring the social and environmental integrity of the architecture of the Copenhagen outcome. |
