Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue

A Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue (MSD) was held as part of the UN Forum on Forests sessions until 2015. The dialogue provided an opportunity for dialogue between Member States of the UNFF and representatives of Major Groups on issues relevant to UNFF sessions. In order to facilitate the MSD process, Major Groups Networks nominated Focal Points to assist in the coordination of input from each of the nine Major Groups. Contact you relevant UNFF Major Group Focal Point if you are interested in learning more about planned activities.

Customarily, several months in advance of the Forum session, Major Groups are invited by the Secretariat of the Forum to submit their input related to the topics of the current Forum session, through their Major Groups Focal Points. Major Groups can use this opportunity to present their contributions to the implementation of the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2017–2030. You can view relevant major groups papers prepared for recent sessions here.
