💁‍♂UN-ECOSOC(Forest Goals Report 2021)

😷🌳The resilient recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic along with responses to the climate and biodiversity crises must be rooted in the world's forests.

🌍👷‍♂Asia accounted for more than 70% (8.90 million people employed) of total formal employment in the forest sector globally, led by India (6.23 million people employed) and China (1.15 million people). Sustainably resourced and managed forests can bolster employment, disaster risk reduction, food security and social safety nets, for starters.

🏞⛑️Forest can also protect biodiversity and advance both climate mitigation and adaptation. With regard to global health, safeguarding and restoring forests are among the environmental actions that can reduce the risk of future zoonotic disease outbreaks.

👉The report called for a future course of action that included greater sustainability and a greener and more inclusive economy to tackle the threats of Covid-19, climate change and the biodiversity crisis faced by forests.
