Read the reports from NAFC’s biennial sessions, which bring together government officials from forestry and related sectors, along with representatives from international, regional, and subregional organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. These meetings serve as an important policy and technical forum for countries to discuss regional forest issues and strengthen cooperation.
Since 1958, Canada, Mexico and the United States—the three partners in the North American Forest Commission (NAFC)—have worked together diligently and strategically to shape forestry policy, support forest-related activities, and exchange scientific and technical information on issues of mutual concern to the forest sector of all three nations.The NAFC is one of six regional forestry commissions in the world established by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Conference. Despite having no fixed budget, offices or full-time staff, the NAFC has been successful due to the willingness of the FAO and the three countries’ national forestry agencies to provide the financial and human resources that support the work carried out.Click above to learn more about NAFC's history.
