On Thursday, 15 January, the Open-Ended Intergovernmental Ad Hoc Expert Group on the International Arrangement on Forests (AHEG2) met for its fourth day. In the morning, Co-Chairs Charles Barber and Raymond Landveld provided an overview of the previous day’s discussions on the future of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) and its Secretariat, the Collaborative Partnership for Forests (CPF) and the involvement of Major Groups and of regional entities. They highlighted emerging convergence on maintaining the name, membership and status of UNFF and clarifying the roles and functions of all components of the International Arrangement on Forests (IAF). Among areas where differences remain, they noted the role of UNFF in implementation and the need to strengthen the science-policy interface.
AHEG members discussed the key issues for inclusion in the resolution of the eleventh meeting of UNFF (UNFF11) on the IAF Beyond 2015 in plenary during the morning and afternoon. In the morning, the Co-Chairs distributed a draft paper outlining the elements or components to include in a UNFF11 resolution. Throughout the day, several participants supported that the document should clarify the roles, functions and added value of the elements of the IAF.
