Forests. The State Visit was preceded by the signing on 23 October 2023 of a ministerial Declaration of Intent on long-term cooperation on forestry. As also reiterated in the Strategic Partnership, our cooperation in this area aims to promote active and sustainable forest management with a view to using wood in the context of the climate transition.

Forests. In many developing countries forests are a valuable source of income to rural people and a major reservoir of biodiversity. The Commission’s strategic framework, its Communication on “Forest and development: the EC approach”10, stresses that sustainable forest management would make a significant contribution to economic, social and environmental development, especially in developing countries. The Communication emphasizes the need for good governance as a prerequisite to ensure sustainable management of forests, and notes that a participatory approach of particular importance given the number of stakeholder groups directly involved. The poverty-environment interface, at the centre of the WSSD agenda, is particularly evident in forestry activities. In Johannesburg the Commission made a strong commitment to work in partnership with developing countries to combat illegal logging and the associated trade in illegally harvested timber. To build on this commitment, the Commission is now implementing an EU Action Plan for Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT)11. The Commission is taking an active role in helping to shape two major partnerships for forests announced in Johannesburg, the Asia Forest Partnership and the Congo Basin Forest Partnership. Within the Strategic Partnership, regular dialogue between the EC and FAO would enable both institutions to enhance synergies in their development policies in relation to forestry, in the fields of forest policy development, enforcement and implementation, with the aim of contributing to sustainable forest management. In addition, operational activities could be designed with the following objectives:

Forests. Forestry operations on Category II lands will be defined according to management plans elaborated by Québec, which plans take into consideration the hunting, fishing and trapping activities. JBNQA, par. 7.2.5 ▇. ▇▇▇▇.
