Major Group Focal Points
The
UNFF facilitates the creation of a focal point system made
up of focal points from each of the nine 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 should be a fluid, flexible structure around which
to major groups themselves can organize and coordinate planning
and discussion on UNFF issues within and between major group
networks. If you are interested in participating further
within the UNFF, please contact your relevant UNFF focal
point for current UNFF related activitities.
Please
note that the major groups of Local Authorities and Forest
Non-governmental Organizations are still involved in consultations
regarding the nominations of their UNFF major group focal
point. For the latest update on the status of these discussions,
please feel free to contact the UNFF Secretariat.
