    The Solutions-tree: halting deforestation through sustainable agrifood systems transformation 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The Solutions-tree is an evidence-based toolkit of solutions for halting deforestation through sustainable agrifood systems transformation. It demonstrates how strengthening agriculture–forest linkages and addressing underlying drivers of forest loss can support climate, food security, biodiversity, and sustainable development objectives.Forests and trees provide essential ecosystem services that underpin agricultural productivity and performance, including water regulation, soil fertility, pollination, climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, and livelihood support. At the same time, agricultural expansion remains a major driver of deforestation due to persistent competition for land. The Solutions-tree presents a logical and practical toolkit of solutions to address these challenges in an integrated manner. It highlights how reinforcing positive synergies between forests and agriculture can reduce trade-offs and support multiple policy objectives. Designed for policymakers, practitioners, and development partners, it offers a structured approach to navigating the complex relationships between drivers, solutions, and outcomes in the forest–agriculture nexus.Moving beyond a focus on proximate drivers, the Solutions-tree targets underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation, such as weak land governance, poverty, institutional fragmentation, and increasing demand for agricultural commodities. It organizes a wide range of existing solutions into a coherent, systemic framework linking drivers and solutions to deforestation. The toolkit also serves as a knowledge repository and analytical instrument to support the design, review, and strengthening of national and subnational strategies and programmes aimed at halting deforestation while advancing sustainable agrifood systems.

    Collaborative Partnership on Forests Work Plan 2025–2028
    Strategic Directions for Collaborative Forest Action
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The 2025-2028 work plan of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) sets forth clear priorities, joint actions, collaborative activities, resource needs, outputs and indicators for assessing progress, for the activities of the CPF. It also ensures that reports of the CPF on the implementation of the work plan to the UNFF and other governing bodies are structured around the Global Forest Goals (GFGs). The CPF Work Plan was developed in line with the quadrennial programme of work of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) for the same period following the guidance received from UNFF and other governing bodies of CPF member organizations.

    Forest sector contribution to national economies 2015
    The direct, indirect and induced effects on value added, employment and labour income
    2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The forest sector is a key sector for the development of a circular bioeconomy and achievement of the SDGs. Clarity on the dimension of the benefits generated by wood production, including through other sectors of the economy can help build the case to support a sustainable growth of the forest sector, with increased sustainable management of natural and planted forests, and efficient and inclusive value chains. Analysis of national input-output matrix and calculation of economic multipliers can provide insights on the real magnitude of forest contributions to the national economies and highlight where policies towards sustainability can have a greater impact. This report presents the total economic contributions of the forest sector to national economies around the globe, based on estimations of the forest sector direct, indirect and induced effects on the economy derived from the national accounts input-output matrixes with the most recent data available (2015). The results can help stakeholders to understand the importance and multiplier effects of the forest sector to the national economy in a quantifiable way.
