    This event, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 25–27 March 2025, brought together experts, government representatives, and organizations from across the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen knowledge exchange on national forest inventories (NFIs). Accurate and transparent forest data is essential for sustainable forest management and tracking progress toward global commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and nationally determined contributions (NDCs).Organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), this regional workshop provided a platform for countries to share best practices, enhance technical knowledge, and explore opportunities for collaboration on forest monitoring. Discussions focused on NFI design, implementation, and data analysis, as well as innovative tools such as remote sensing and digital reporting methods.The event also paved the way for building a regional network to foster long-term cooperation and harmonisation of forest monitoring methodologies across the Asia-Pacific region.
