SUMMARY:Forestry Web-Seminar Week
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 Forestry Web-Seminar Week will feature a series of
  virtual sessions in the week in which COFO and the World Forest Week were
  originally scheduled. The sessions comprise high-level events as well as 
 technical thematic sessions. Thematic sessions are organized by the FAO’
 s Forestry Department with partners within and outside FAO. \n\nAs the COV
 ID pandemic continues to spread around the globe\, multiple impacts become
  visible. This will affect forests and forestry in many ways. Businesses a
 re disrupted along almost all value chains. People are losing jobs and inc
 ome\, and some migrate back to rural areas. There is also an increased ris
 k of further deforestation and degradation of the natural resource basis f
 rom which people make their living – with long-term negative consequence
 s to producers and society.\n\nForestry and forest-based sectors have a ke
 y role to play in providing solutions. Forests act as safety nets for the 
 most vulnerable members of society\, providing food\, subsistence and inco
 me in times of scarcity and thereby increasing resilience to shocks such a
 s the current one. With the right incentives\, they can provide sustainabl
 e jobs and income and become a source of economic prosperity and sustainab
 le development. Find more information on the impacts of COVID-19 on the fo
 rest sector.
