In a scenario where it is no longer possible to dissociate economic growth from climate and environmental emergencies, the Forum aims to be an international space for dialogue and collaboration.

The II Forum’s program will explore ways to mobilize financial resources at scale, boosting the energy transition, forest conservation, food security and other essential fronts for a more positive economy for people, businesses and nature. The event will also present innovative alternatives to influence public policies and sustainable business practices, strengthening countries’ capacity to attract investments in technological solutions that promote inclusion, income generation and reduction of inequalities.

Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth’s land area. They store vast amounts of carbon, provide us with food, fuel and materials and offer immeasurable cultural and spiritual value.

But despite our best efforts, the world’s forests are still under threat.

Luckily, communities around the world are taking control by restoring and revitalizing their local landscapes – and they need your support to take their work to the next level.

Join this hybrid event at the International Model Forest Network (IMFN) Global Forum 2025 to explore how.

Discover the role of collaborative and dynamic stewardship, agroforestry and finance in building the restoration economy we need – and find out how you can be a part of it.
