Washington Forest Legality Week is a multi-stakeholder, international event, drawing stakeholders from governments, the private sector, civil society, the scientific community, and service providers such as timber certification bodies. The main meeting will take place over three days and is designed to accommodate a range of side meetings and interactions convened during the entire week by partner organizations.

This year’s tentative agenda includes panels on linkages between fighting forest-related crime and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation; Peru; Papua New Guinea and Indonesia’s Papua Province (which together constitute the island of New Guinea); combating forest-related corruption; and anti-illegal logging and anti-deforestation policy developments in the European Union.
