About the event

Turning the tide on deforestation is a top priority for the UN Secretary-General as he called for accelerated efforts to halt deforestation and restore forests in 2019 through concerted action and advocacy across and beyond the UN system. The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), consisting of 15 international organisations, are spearheading the efforts to halt deforestation globally. In 2021, the CPF released the latest scientific findings and key messages as a joint statement “Challenges and Opportunities in Turning the Tide on Deforestation” at the 16th session of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) in support of the existing global forest goals and targets in support of the implementation of the UN Strategic Plan for Forests (UNSPF) and its Global Forest Goals and other intergovernmentally-agreed commitments on forests.
At the COP27 High-level Dialogue leaders of CPF agencies will discuss actions, transparency and finance to accelerate efforts in turning the tide on deforestation. The dialogue will also serve to identify next steps to be taken to realize enhanced ambition. The event will take place in UNFCCC COP27 Side Event Room 3 (Hatshepsut) from 3:00-4:30pm at the Sharm El Sheikh International Convention Centre (SHICC).
