Forest Action Day included a keynote speech from FAO Director-General José Graziano Da Silva, followed by three sessions on: forests in the implementation of the Paris Agreement; South-South cooperation, success stories and experience exchange; and major initiatives by stakeholders. This event builds on Forest Action Day that took place during COP 21 in Paris, France. With COP 22 positioned as the COP of "action and solutions," the Forest Action Day showcase segment presented initiatives that demonstrate momentum and progress towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. The presentations included progress made on previous commitments as well as new and innovative actions involving state and non-state stakeholders. Given the focus and location of COP 22, special attention was given to highlighting advances in Africa, including on climate change adaptation, although broader global stories were also represented. Building on the earlier showcase Forest Action Day segment, there was a "Dialogue on Forests" that addressed key questions drafted by organizers through a multi-stakeholder discussion among state and non-state actors on the path forward. The dialogue focused on identifying solutions, new approaches and policy options that could help overcome challenges and advance further, based on, among others, lessons learned from initiatives generated through the climate action agenda.
