[COP30] Roles of Forest in Climate Crisis
[COP30] Roles of Forest in Climate Crisis
日付・会場: 14 November 2025 Belém, Brazil
ITTO Executive Director Sheam Satkuru will deliver opening remarks at a seminar held at the Japan Pavilion during COP30 in Belém, Brazil. The seminar will also be streamed live via Zoom (details below).
This event is organized by the Forestry and Forest Product Research Institute (FFRPI) and co-organized by the Forestry Agency of Japan (FA) and ITTO.
About this event:
As we enter an era of climate crisis, large-scale meteorological disasters are occurring worldwide. As seen in discussions under the Kyoto Protocol, REDD-plus, and the Paris Agreement, forests are expected to mitigate climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon. Simultaneously, as the impacts of climate change become more apparent, expectation toward their role is growing in adaptation, such as disaster risk reduction.
This seminar aims to bring together speakers from international organizations, policymakers, NGOs, and research institutions to discuss the roles forests can play in the era of climate crisis, focusing on the perspectives of forest conservation and utilization.
