Civil Society Alternative Programme to the World Forestry Congress
September 6, 2015 - September 11, 2015
The World Forestry Congress (WFC2015) will be held in Durban from 6-11 September 2015. The event will bring together commercial, government and intergovernmental interests in this industry. A Civil Society Alternative Programme (CSAP) is being organised in parallel with the intention of providing a space for civil society and community groups to raise awareness about the environmental and social issues connected to the WFC2015 agenda as well as possible civil society solutions. The CSAP events and activities are aimed at stimulating discussion about challenges facing local communities affected by the global timber industry, and can thus contribute to a dialogue that could lead to positive changes. It is being organised by Timberwatch in partnership with its local and international members and partner organisations.
