About the event

Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) is one of six FAO Regional Forestry Commissions. APFC is a forum for advising and taking action on key forestry issues in a region of diversity and rapid change. The Commission meets every two years to review progress, discuss problems and set new agendas.

Asia-Pacific Forestry Week (APFW2019) will be held alongside the APFC meeting at the Songdo Convensia Convention Center, Incheon, Republic of Korea on 17-21 June 2019. The overall theme of the Forestry Week is “Forests for peace and well-being”, which reflects the positive dimensions of forestry and suggests the need to proactively integrate forestry into the wider context of environment, society, and sustainable development, under which economic, social, human and cultural dimensions are considered in a holistic manner.
