🔥 Hot off the press!

🌳 @FAO’s Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025 is now out!

Published every five years, the 2025 edition shows that deforestation is slowing -- but the world’s forests are still under pressure.

Knowledge and incentives to reduce forest encroachment from agriculture need to be tailored for small-scale farmers, who are the key actors of sustainability, @FAO's Serena Fortuna (@FortunaS_FAO) tells Asia-Pacific #REDD+ Regional Knowledge Exchange.

Honored for having been interviewed, and for joining forces with estimated colleagues within and outside #FAO on such a central issue #haltingdeforestation #REDD+, supporting countries & international agenda responding to #climate, #biodiversity #foodsecurity #economy crisis.

[FAO Forestry @FAOForestry]

What is #REDD+, and how is it helping tropical countries not only reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation but also boost food security?

@FAO’s Serena Fortuna (@FortunaS_FAO) explains.

@UNFCCC @UNREDD @FAOclimate

[UN-REDD Programme @unredd]

"Unlocking sustainable African investments is vital for reducing forest loss and hitting the 1.5C climate target. Collaborative public-private investment in agriculture and forestry, aligned with environmental policies, fosters coherence and climate progress," says @FortunaS_FAO

[UN-REDD Programme @unredd]

Join us tomorrow at the #AfricaClimateWeek from 14:00-15:30 (EAT) to learn more on ways to unlock sustainable investment for Nature-based Solutions.
