Event details
Description
Every year, millions of hectares of tropical forests are being destroyed. The private sector and public authorities can play a large role in reversing this trend. The power of sustainable timber procurement as well as Europe’s role in the sustainable use of tropical forests will be the central themes of the conference.
The conference will mark the launch of the EU Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (EU STTC).
A first group of national governments, local authorities and companies will formalize their commitment to the EU STTC.
The conference brings together high-level officials of various national governments, over 50 local authorities, private sector partners and representatives of civil society.
About 150 participants are expected. The conference is free of charge, but by invitation only.
