Established in the year 2000, the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) is an intergovernmental platform for the sustainable management, protection, and development of all forests. Within this framework, Country-led Initiatives (CLI) are international meetings voluntarily undertaken by member countries to contribute to the global forest agenda.

Türkiye, in collaboration with the UNFF Secretariat and FAO, will host a CLI meeting in İstanbul from 20 to 22 October 2025. This initiative, which will continue over a two-year period, will provide a platform for sharing experiences and developing policies in the context of combating forest fires, innovative approaches, sustainable forest management, and climate change.

All documents and information related to the CLI process will be accessible through the following link:
