47th Session of the UNECE Working Party on Forest Statistics, Economics and Management is an international forestry policy and technical meeting dedicated to improving forest data, sustainable forest management, and understanding the economic and environmental importance of forests. Organized within the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the session brings together forestry authorities, statisticians, economists, researchers, environmental experts, and international organizations.

Key topics include forest statistics and data collection, forest resources assessment, sustainable forest management, forest products, timber markets, forest economics, climate change, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, circular bioeconomy, and sustainable use of forest resources. Participants discuss the latest data, methodologies, policies, and challenges affecting forests and the forest-based sector across the UNECE region.

The working party provides an important platform for international cooperation and knowledge exchange, helping countries improve the availability and comparability of forest statistics and strengthen evidence-based forest policies. Discussions also examine how forests can contribute to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, sustainable economic development, and resilient rural economies.

The 47th Session of the UNECE Working Party on Forest Statistics, Economics and Management supports better-informed decision-making and promotes sustainable, economically viable, and environmentally responsible forest management across Europe, North America, and the Caucasus and Central Asian region.
