Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 800,000 people worldwide did not get enough food to eat and around 2 billion people were malnourished. The situation is now becoming more acute. From June 3 to 5, the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is hosting Food in the time of crises: How to feed the world without eating the planet, a major online conference that will cover all aspects of food security and insecurity with the goal to build back better, together. Join CIFOR scientists and experts in 5 sessions on 3-4 June.

The Global Landscapes Forum will sustain the conversation on building a better world post-COVID-19. With the support of the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry, GLF Kunming 2020, originally timed to coincide with the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity in October, and GLF Glasgow 2020, originally timed to coincide with the Conference of the Parties to the U.N.

| Q+A: Much left to do for forests under threat, says Robert Nasi |
| Despite targets – including the New York Declaration on Forests and Aichi Biodiversity Target 5 — aimed at halving deforestation by 2020 — the planet’s intact, primary forests are still shrinking albeit at a slower pace. According to the new Global Forests Assessment, the world lost 10 million ha of forests annually from 2015 to 2020 versus 12 million ha annually from 2010 to 2015. |
