A side event to launch this joint publication of PROFOR and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry of Australia is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 4 in Geneva. The Summary of the IPF/IFF Proposals for Action is intended to facilitate national-level implementation of the proposals for action. It also draws connections between the proposals for action and the Forest Biodiversity Work Programme of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) with the aim of increasing cooperation between the two processes.
