UNFF10
The tenth session of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF10) continued on Thursday, 18 April. In the morning, following informal group consultations, delegates in Working Group (WG) I continued the second reading of the revised draft text. Delegates in WGII reconvened in informal groups throughout the morning, addressing the Ad Hoc Expert Group (AHEG) process and means of implementation (MoI) for sustainable forest management (SFM).

In the afternoon, WGI reconvened for the third reading of the revised draft text. WGII met briefly for an update from the informal groups, followed by a resumption of discussions in the informal groups. In the evening, a brief stocktaking plenary convened to assess progress of the WGs. The work of both WGs continued late into the night.
