Background
ECOSOC resolution 2015/33 on the 鈥淚nternational Arrangement on Forests beyond 2015鈥� requested the secretariat of the Forum, in consultation with relevant bodies and partners including the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) and its members, to propose for consideration by the Forum at its next session a cycle and a format for national reporting and the enhancement of voluntary monitoring, assessment and reporting on the progress made in the implementation of the UN Forest Instrument and its Global Objectives on Forests (GOFs), as well as the forest related SDGs and targets, taking into account and utilizing existing data collection mechanisms. Consistent with this request, and as part of the consultative process, this expert meeting is being organized in Brazil in February 2017 to propose a cycle and a format for national reporting to UNFF12 in May 2017.
