Forest Restoration (Webinar, 20 May 2021)
The Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU and the European Regional Office of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will be hosting a joint virtual event on the future of forests in Europe, thus celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity (on 22 May).
The restoration of these ecosystems will be a fundamental tool in tackling the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, while at the same time the EU Forest Strategy must ensure the coherence of forest-related policies and allow synergies with the forest-based sector.
Member States, the European Commission, civil society and the forestry industry will all be invited to present their views and open dialogue will be encouraged.
