4th International Congress on Planted Forests, 23-27 October 2018, Beijing, China
The International Congress on Planted Forests (ICPF) is being organised by the FAO of the United Nations and the International Union on Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) among others. Three Congresses have been held so far. The 4th ICPF aims to investigate the contribution of planted forests to green development in the context of global changes. The 4th ICPF will also provide for an interface between the scientific community, the wider society and government policy initiatives related to planted forests.
TEAKNET will be participating to organize a Partner Event during the Congress with the support of FAO and IUFRO Teakwood Working Party (Div.5.06.2). Details of the session will be available soon in our website www.teaknet.org
