Protect, restore and sustainably use forests:
building blocks for environmental and economic recovery
Stockholm+50 Associated Event
Monday, 30 May 2022
15.00 -16.15 PM CEST
Register here: https://fao.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NMpI_BzoTsCKa4SHmS1sHg
Forests and trees can play a crucial role in addressing planetary challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss while moving towards sustainable economies and increasing food security.
The State of the World’s Forests 2022 (SOFO2022) provides three pathways to implement this new perspective of making development work with the environment: ‘protect’: measures for halting deforestation; ‘restore’: making land more productive, and ‘use’: investments in building economically viable green value chains that provide resilient livelihoods. SOFO2022 is a contribution to the implementation of SDG 15 (Life on Land) and the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests and its Global Forest Goals.
Important commitments regarding the world’s forests have been made at the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP26), the United Nations Environment Assembly 5.2 (UNEA 5.2), the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF17), and the Seoul Forest Declaration and the Ministerial Call on Sustainable wood adopted at World Forestry Congress (WFC) 2022.
Join FAO and Members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests in this discussion on interfaces between protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests as building blocks for a green recovery. Together they can conserve nature, better provide for human well-being, and contribute to inclusive recovery, build resilient and sustainable economies.

ForestSAT 2022 in Berlin
2nd Call for Abstracts
Dear ForestSAT community,
We are rushing towards the ForestSAT 2022 event and while we are still figuring out many things at this point, we also made some progress since our last mail. We have by now organized a diverse range of special sessions which can be seen here (https://www.forestsat2022.com/special-sessions-2/<https://list-manage.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4d7574f87e47102feee2…>). Thanks to all our great colleagues who came forward with suggestions and offered their support with organizing the sessions. If you want to contribute to one of these sessions, you will have an option to assign your abstract to a session while uploading. We are furthermore very happy to announce our first keynote speaker Nicholas Coops who will give a presentation on near real time forest inventory using satellite and laser scanning data.
Since the deadline for abstract submission is coming closer quickly, we would now like to announce the 2nd Call for Abstracts and invite all of you to submit abstracts for poster and oral presentations for ForestSAT 2022.
The final deadline for submitting abstracts is 31st of May.
Please be aware that we will have no options to extend the deadline due to the extremely tight schedule. We hence really ask all of you to submit your abstract before the deadline.
We know that this is may cause a bit of time pressure, but we are confident that you can all find a time window to prepare an abstract and submit in time and that we can welcome you in Berlin at the end of August.
We are very much looking forward to it!
Best wishes,
Micha Foerster and Fabian Fassnacht
