CPF provides major inputs to UNFF and other important international forest dialogues, including the conventions on climate change (UNFCCC), biodiversity (CBD) and desertification (UNCCD). It produces joint statements and papers on key forest issues on the international agenda.
Formation and working modalitiesThe UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in its Resolution 2000/35 invited the heads of relevant UN, international and regional bodies to form a collaborative partnership on forests. The CPF was established in April 2001. The CPF is chaired by FAO and is serviced by the UNFF Secretariat.
The CPF usually convenes to discuss strategic areas of coordination between CPF members and to work towards a better coherence between countries, in conjunction with major events; to keep travel costs low and make efficient use of staff time. The Collaborative Partnership on Forests Framework, produced annually, represents the Partnership's work plan and its progress report.
