UNFF Milestones

Since its establishment in 2000, the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) has served as the central global platform for policy dialogue and cooperation on all types of forests. As the core body of the International Arrangement on Forests (IAF), the Forum works alongside Member States, the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, Major Groups and other stakeholders, and regional organizations to strengthen political commitment and advance the achievement of the Global Forest Goals.

The timeline below presents key milestones in the Forum’s evolution. It reflects over two decades of collective progress, innovation, and sustained commitment to ensuring that forests continue to contribute to sustainable development and to the well-being of present and future generations.
