Synopsis (short abstract) The Republic of Korea forestry outlook study provides a comprehensive overview of developments and prospects for the country's forestry sector. The analysis covers forest resources, timber products, non-wood forest products (NWFPs) and forest ecosystem services. The paper anticipates stable growth in consumption of timber products, some of which will be met from maturing national forests. The situation for NWFPs varies by product. Increasing demands for ecosystem services will be met through imp lementation of various government plans designed to enhance the quality of forests and the services they provide.

    World Forestry Congresses (WFCs) are held approximately every six years to bring together all relevant forestry stakeholders to discuss current trends, challenges and solutions in the forest sector. They serve an advisory role, allowing the global forestry community to develop a vision and make recommendations to promote the sustainable management of the world’s forests. The XV WFC, held in the Republic of Korea, was particularly relevant because of the mounting challenges to the sector but also because, as the first truly global meeting after the worst part of the COVID 19 pandemic, it provided a unique opportunity to discuss options for building back better. The aim of the WFC was to build a green, healthy and resilient future with forests and to develop both policy and action recommendations for a wide range of stakeholders. It also sought to serve as a major platform for sharing information and lessons learned, as well as for networking and strengthening collaboration at all levels.
