Rome, Italy
This conference will address the problems and challenges encountered in forestry education by analyzing relevant ongoing education initiatives, approaches and key players on forest education based on six regional reports and a global synthesis report to be produced by the three lead project partners—the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and ITTO. It will assess ways forward for enhancing forest education and develop a long-term vision and strategic plan to coordinate international efforts to advance forest education, including through an online information and learning platform.

The conference will be co-organized by FAO, IUFRO and ITTO under the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, with financial support from the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture
