These ministerial documents represent the continuation of the policy process to strengthen Sustainable Forest Management across pan-Europe.

The comprehensive documents will be available after the conference.

The Bonn Ministerial Decision lays the foundation for establishing a coordinated pan-European Forest Risk Facility.
