During the last day of the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests, held in Beijing from the 23-27 October 2018, a “world café” session was organized by representatives of WWF’s New Generation Plantations (NGP) platform and the IUFRO Task Force on Planted Forests for a Greener Future. The main objective of the session was to harvest opinions from participants about the findings that emerged during the ICPF 2018, and the challenges that need further research.
