Press Releases

«Forests matter to me and to my country because forests, forest-based sector, biodiversity and sustainable land use are an essential part in our transition to a modern, climate neutral and resource-efficient economy. The commitments and actions proposed in the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use will deliver growing, healthy, diverse and resilient forests and ensure their significant contribution to our climate and biodiversity ambitions, thriving livelihoods in rural areas and beyond, and a sustainable forest bioeconomy.

Cyprus therefore endorses the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration and commits to working collectively to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030 while delivering sustainable development and promoting an inclusive rural transformation».
