The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and its partners invite people interested in, and committed to, sustainable forest management in Asia and the Pacific to come together for Asia-Pacific Forestry Week (APFW) 2016 in Clark Freeport Zone, Philippines, 22-26 February 2016.

APFW 2016 is expected to be one of the largest and most important forestry gatherings in the region in 2016. Asia-Pacific Forestry Week 2016: Growing our Future! seeks to encourage participants to chart new pathways that guide the development of forestry into the future.

APFW 2016 will be organized in five thematic streams:

1. Pathways to prosperity: future trade and markets
2. Tackling climate change: challenges and opportunities
3. Serving society: forestry and people
4. New institutions, new governance
5. Our green future: green investment and growing our natural assets

Streams will comprise a range of workshops, seminars, panels, meetings, and other innovative events that will contribute to a broad and inclusive dialogue and outcomes that will help to shape the future of forestry in the Asia-Pacific region.
