The Regional Forums aim to broaden and deepen our relationships with diverse stakeholder groups, with particular emphasis on Civil Society Organisations. The Forums are established to facilitate meaningful and constructive dialogue among stakeholders, individuals, representative bodies, and other commercial and not-for-profit organisations involved in or with an interest in the sustainable biomass sector.
We believe that everybody’s voice should be heard, and with the launch of the Forums we aim to create a collaborative platform for sharing insights, discussing challenges, and collectively assessing and shaping the advice that can be extended from a Forum to SBP from time to time.
Initially, three Regional Forums have been launched across our key operational areas:
- the Americas Forum, covering countries in North and South America,
- the Asia Forum, which covers all the countries in Asia, and
- the Europe Forum, which covers European countries.
We are planning two Forum meetings for 2024, the Asia Forum and the Americas Forum, with the Europe Forum following in early 2025.
