As the UN Forum on Forests convenes at UN Headquarters , we highlight the vital role forests play in sustaining our planet’s health, climate balance, and human well-being. Covering 31% of Earth’s land, forests nurture biodiversity, regulate water cycles, and support over 1.6 billion people. Since its creation in 2000, this ECOSOC forum has championed key milestones—including the UN Forest Instrument and the Strategic Plan for Forests 2030. This year’s forum unites global leaders to strengthen forest governance and secure a greener, more resilient future for all.
