Bonn Ministerial Decision:
“Sustainable Forests Management as a tool to enhance forest resilience”
The Bonn Ministerial Decision lays the foundation for the establishment of a coordinated pan-European Forest Risk Facility. This document and its Annex recognize the need to respond to the intensified trend of forest damages in Europe at the national and international levels and offer a platform for enhanced cross-border communication and collaboration.
