    The Advisory Committee on Sustainable Forest-based Industries (ACSFI) is a statutory body that guides the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on issues concerning the sustainable production, utilization and consumption of forest products. It also serves as a forum for dialogue between FAO and the private sector, identifying strategic actions across forest sector value-chains in order to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this statement, the ACSFI and its members call upon FAO, its member countries, the private sector and other stakeholders to jointly strengthen their commitment to building back better in a post-COVID-19 world, through fostering the ongoing development of a forest-based bioeconomy, wherein sustainable production, utilization, and consumption amount to a key strategy in halting climate change, achieving multiple SDGs, ensuring inclusive growth and safeguarding the livelihoods of billions of people dependent on forests and forest-based industries.
