Forests for the world
G7 special event

On the occasion of the Italian 2024 G7 Presidency, the Italian Government, sensitive to environmental problems and to the world’s forests situation, has reaffirmed its commitment to foster measures that promote the protection and sustainable management of forests. As an important asset for enhancing environmental quality and human welfare, forests urgently require actions against the numerous threats they are facing. The meeting “Forests for the world” - to be held in Rome, at Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, on October 15 and 16 - aims to highlight situations and needs of some of the world’s major forests and to compare strategies and actions in place for their safeguard and enhancement. Special attention will be given to the EU Regulations on marketing of timber and food com-modities, the proposals elaborated by countries that harbour the world’ largest forests for the creation of an International Fund for financing safeguarding measures, as well as local initiatives supported by national and international agencies, foundations and private partners in a spirit of constructive cooperation.
