Barents Forest Sector Working Group


The Barents Forest Sector Working Group WGBFS was set up under the Barents Euro-Arctic Council BEAC in 2000. Previously, this working group was known as the Barents Forest Sector Network.

Finland held the Chairmanship of the Barents Euro-Arctic Council and the Barents Forest Sector Working Group under it from October 2021 until October 2023. The most important event during Finland’s two-year Chairmanship was the Barents Forest Forum, which will take place on October 4–5, 2023 in Rovaniemi. In addition to this, the Forest Sector Working Group met many times a year.

After Finland's Chairmanship, the Barents Forest Sector Working Group has had no activity.

Finland will withdraw from the Barents Euro-Arctic Council after 2025.
