IUFRO 2024 participation

IUFRO 2024 is one of the major events of this year: it is the largest world congress ever organised, with over 4,200 participants from more than 102 countries. Scientists from a wide range of disciplines debated forestry and social issues with young people, policy-makers, forest managers, business representatives and civil society organisations. 

Under the lead of the Franco-Gabonese co-facilitation, the CBFP provided its partners (CBSI, R2FAC, Université de Laval, etc.) and OFVi with a stand in the main exhibition hall. Through its deputy coordinator, Camille Lacroux (INRAE), the initiative was able to inform a large number of passers-by about the forestry issues facing the Congo Basin, by providing brochures and organising a 30-minute workshop on cooperation and capacity-building.

The event was also an opportunity to meet potential European partners interested in the initiative and the Country Packages.
