MOD X welcomes Mita Sen, the Secretariat for the Forum on Forests, which is part of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations. Mita discusses the UN focus on global forests through 2030 including: conservation and restoration as it relates to climate change, forest economy, forest protection, external partnerships, and UN international forest partnerships. As construction seeks for more sustainable and carbon neutral solutions for development, the UN Forum on Forests seeks to bridge across borders to foster international collaborations to utilize timber in building whilst managing responsible forestry practices.
