Accelerating Innovation and Data Management for Forests: A UN DESA Global Policy Dialogue
In March 2024, UN DESA held a Global Policy Dialogue looking at Sustainable Development Goal 15, Life on Land, which is in the spotlight as International Day of Forests is commemorated on 21 March. This year, the United Nations is celebrating the theme, "Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World," and this session will highlight some of these solutions, as well as better ways to improve monitoring and data-gathering related to forests.
