Global Forest Observations Initiative 246d ago

The GFOI Plenary is the major global gathering for countries, donors, development partners and practitioners working in the forest monitoring sector. Discussions focus on the role of international cooperation in improving forest monitoring capabilities in tropical countries to enable better forest management, climate action and preserve nature. The theme for the 2025 plenary was “Forests and the marvel of monitoring”. Broader discussions focused on how we can strengthen the connections between different forest monitoring forums, such as how countries can be best supported to leverage their forest monitoring capabilities for greenhouse gas estimation, forest fires, commodities and biodiversity monitoring.
