Major Group Focal Points
The
UNFF facilitates a Major Group focal point system with focal points from each of the major groups - Business and Industry, Children
and Youth, Indigenous People, Local
Authorities, Non-governmental Organizations, Scientific and Technological Communities, Small Forest Landowners / Farmers, Women, Workers and Trade Unions. This focal point
system is intended to be a fluid, flexible mechanism to help facilitate coordination, planning and discussion on UNFF-related issues within and between major group
