The winner of the 2024 Wangari Maathai Forest Champions Award will be announced and awarded during the evening of the opening day of 27th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry (COFO 27) and the World Forest Week 2024.

More than ever, Forest Champions are needed to reach the Global Forest Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

The 2024 edition of the Award specifically searched for a Forest Champion with a track record in any of these areas: reducing forest loss, increasing the area of forests, increasing the use of sustainably grown wood and non-wood products, contributing to building resilient forest communities, improving livelihoods and youth engagement.
