Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF)

The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) has launched the Joint Call to Action for Forests towards 2030.

About Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF):

• The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) is an innovative voluntary interagency partnership focused on forests.
• It was established in April 2001 in response to a resolution (2000/35) issued by the Economic and Social Council of the UN (ECOSOC).
• It has four focal areas: Implementation and action; data, science and innovation; finance for forests; and communication and awareness-raising.
• This resolution also led to the creation of the International Arrangement on Forests and the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF).

Mission:

• To enhance the contribution of various types of forests and trees outside forests to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other globally agreed development goals.
• To promote sustainable forest management and strengthen long-term political commitment to these objectives.

Functions:

• Supporting the work of the UNFF and its member countries.
• Providing scientific and technical advice to the Forum and governing bodies of other CPF members upon request.
• Enhancing coherence, cooperation, policy coordination, and joint programming among its member organizations.
• Promoting the implementation of the UN Forest Instrument, the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests, and the contribution of forests and trees to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other significant forest-related agreements.
