Dear colleagues, Results of the newest Global Forest Resource Assessment 2005 have been publicized and are accessible at: http://www.fao.org/forestry/foris/webview/forestry2/index.jsp?siteId=6773&sitetreeId=28699&langId=1&geoId=0
You will remember that data on forests in FRA 2000 have strongly affected the negotiations up to Marrakech. The new results of FRA 2005 offer new and intriguing information on many forest parameters linked strongly to climate change and the negotiations for the second commitment period, such as deforestation, carbon stocks and changes in forests over the period 1990 to 2005. The assessment is also the first large-scale experience by countries with the 2003 IPCC Good Practice Guidance to forest biomass and carbon assessments. You are cordially invited to attend our side event in Montreal on 29.11.2005 at 19:00 for new data and more analysis and discussion.
