High-Level Southeast Asia Dialogue: Scaling Sustainable Forestry for Biodiversity and Nature

Date: 10 November 2026
Time: 14:00–15:00 (GMT+3)
Venue: ASEAN Pavilion

Southeast Asia's forests are vital to global biodiversity, climate resilience and sustainable development. Yet, growing pressures from deforestation, land-use change and unsustainable practices underscore the urgent need to scale up sustainable forestry approaches that deliver benefits for nature, people and the climate.

This high-level dialogue will bring together regional leaders, policymakers and partners to explore opportunities to advance sustainable forest management, strengthen regional cooperation and mobilise investment for forest-based solutions.

The discussion will highlight approaches to balancing forest conservation, biodiversity protection and sustainable economic development, while examining how stronger policies, partnerships and innovative financing can accelerate action across Southeast Asia.

Join us as regional stakeholders share perspectives and explore pathways to scale sustainable forestry and deliver lasting benefits for biodiversity, nature and communities.

Join the dialogue at the ASEAN Pavilion on 10 November.
