Descripción
The first-ever hybrid World Forestry Congress, at which participants from 160 countries met in person and virtually, was held on 2–6 May 2022 in Seoul, the Republic of Korea. It was coorganized by the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Centred on the theme of building a green, healthy and resilient future with forests, the Congress was convened against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected people, forests and forestry worldwide. After a week of rich discussions in ministerial dialogues, technical sessions under six sub-themes and numerous special and plenary events, participants endorsed the Seoul Forest Declaration and about 150 “action points” – steps that need to be taken to solve challenges and seize opportunities. These outcomes were complemented by the Youth Call for Action and the Ministerial Call on Sustainable Wood.
