The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI), in partnership with the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests (AIM4Forests) programme, is pleased to announce that the GFOI Country forum: A south-south knowledge exchange (GFOI SSX) will return in 2026!
Building on the success of the previous event, the GFOI SSX 2026 will provide a forum for tropical countries to learn from one another’s expertise in forest monitoring. Many countries now have over a decade of experience developing their National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMSs), making their expertise invaluable to others still building similar systems or facing challenges.
This year, the GFOI SSX will feature three streams held in parallel:
- Country-led planning to institutionalize NFMS
- Measurement, reporting and verification
- Forest monitoring for transparent commodity supply chains
Please note that this is is a closed event.
