Central to the discussions was the imperative to achieve global forest goals and advance sustainable development targets by the end of the decade.

The nation underscored its commitment to sustainable forest management and conservation efforts, highlighting significant expansions in protected areas, including wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, tiger reserves, biosphere reserves, and other wildlife habitats. It further mentioned about the implementation of the green credit programme, aimed at restoring degraded forest lands and promoting tree planting through incentivisation measures.
