The Korea Forest Service (KFS) delegation to Mongolia shared Korea's forest restoration experience and promoted global cooperation to combat desertification at the 17th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). The delegation, led by Lee Kwang-ho, attended a high-level roundtable on the Peace Forest Initiative in Ulaanbaatar, where participants exchanged views on cross-border forest cooperation and approaches to promoting peace.
The Peace Forest Initiative, launched in 2019 by the KFS and the UNCCD Secretariat, supports the restoration of ecosystems and natural resources in fragile and conflict-affected areas, aiming to build trust and promote peace among neighboring countries and communities through joint environmental restoration projects.
