The Forests Dialogue

Food, Fuel, Fiber and Forest

4F Scoping Dialogue in Washington DC, 1-3 June, 2011

 
The DC scoping dialogue was a crucial starting point for TFD's 4F initiative. It gathered leaders from different stakeholder groups to identify key fracture lines on the topic and discuss how future dialogues and linked actions can contribute to overcoming them. It focused on the potential role and value of forests, and the supply of food, fuel, and fiber, in a future world where humanity is living within the Earth's ecological limits and sharing its resources more equitably.
 
The dialogue was co-hosted by WWF US Headquarters.
