Program Purpose (French)
Dans le cadre de la session de mai 2015 du Forum des Nations Unies sur les forêts (FNUF), les pays prendront une décision concernant la voie à suivre pour l'arrangement international sur les forêts, en fonction d'une gamme d'options, y compris s'il est envisageable d'apporter des améliorations à l'arrangement et à la négociation existants d'un accord mondial juridiquement valable sur les forêts. À la demande de la Chine, le Canada a accepté de coparrainer une initiative prise en charge par les pays (IPCP), c'est-à-dire une réunion dirigée par les pays aux termes du FNUF, incluant les résultats relatifs à la IPCP, afin de les communiquer lors des négociations mondiales; cette réunion se tiendra à Beijing, du 29 octobre au 1er novembre 2014. Du financement est octroyé à l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en vue d'entreprendre des activités techniques et administratives, en appui à la réunion.
