2011/03/30: Sustainable Decisions for Growth and Diversity

Europe’s forests, and the need to safeguard their vital goods and services for our environment and society, will be the centre of attention at the forthcoming FOREST EUROPE Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe on 14-16 June 2011 in Oslo, Norway. Representatives from the countries participating in the FOREST EUROPE policy co-operation process are meeting on 30-31 March in Oslo to prepare the ground for the Ministers’ summit and the important political decisions they will take there. The Expert-Level Meeting represents the final step in the preparation for the FOREST EUROPE Ministerial Conference in June. The conference website, www.foresteurope.org/conference2011, has been launched today and will provide information for participants, professionals in forest related sectors, media and the broad public about the conference.
