The State of the World’s Forests 2024

This report from the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation can show you how we can work with forests to help address the climate and biodiversity crises. This edition provides highlights on the state of the world’s forests and explores the transformative power of evidence-based innovation in the forest sector, including new technologies, creative and successful policies and institutional changes, and new ways of getting finance to forest owners and managers. The report explains the benefits and opportunities that healthy forests provide in addressing global challenges; the growing pressure on forests from climate-related and human-caused stressors; the importance of innovation to scale up forest conservation, restoration, and sustainable use; and more. It also provides a wide range of illustrative case studies.. These insights will be most useful to procurement and supply chain managers whose value chains rely on the ecosystem goods and services of forests.
