ITTO participated in Global Festa Japan on the weekend of 30 September and 1 October 2023. The event, which was held at the Tokyo International Forum, is one of Japan's largest annual gatherings of public- and private-sector organizations for the advancement of international cooperation, social contribution and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This year’s theme, “International Cooperation to Build the World—The More Friends the Better!”, brought in many visitors from Japan and around the world. 

ITTO had a booth in in the entrance to the main hall. The good location attracted many visitors, and ITTO staff helped raise awareness about tropical forests and their relationship to the SDGs. Staff discussed with visitors the Organization’s mission and its efforts to combat issues facing tropical forests, such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and climate change.
