MeetingMeeting documentNAFC/2023/4.8 - Report of the Illegal logging Working Group 2023
Also available in:
Following the success of the workshops, at the 31st session of NAFC, the Commission approved the establishment of an ad hoc working group to explore further how the NAFC partners might combine their respective forest management expertise and capacities to promote legal timber trade and combat illegal trade. The Commission requested the Bureau of Alternates (BoA) to take the lead on establishing this working group, including requesting that each country identify potential members, and ensuring that a working group meeting is held to develop and formalize the group charter and work plan. The working group was officially established immediately following the 31st session of NAFC. In the following year, the working group developed both the work plan and charter, which were finalized in March of 2023. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
