Our Vision

RMFN–Asia envisions a future in which the region’s forest landscapes are sustainably managed through inclusive and collaborative approaches that reflect stakeholders’ needs and values. 

The network’s mission is to enhance Asia’s forests and other ecosystem services at the landscape level to sustainably meet stakeholders’ needs and values. To achieve its vision and advance sustainable forest landscape development in the region, RMFN–Asia will focus on four interconnected areas in the 2025 to 2030 strategic period:

1. Resilience to climate change: RMFN–Asia will increase climate resilience of communities and forest landscapes through nature-based solutions.  
2. Forest landscape restoration and livelihoods: RMFN–Asia will use practical and innovative approaches to restore forest landscapes and enhance livelihoods.
3. Gender, youth and social inclusion: RMFN–Asia will increase the representation and enhance the empowerment of women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities in decision-making and management processes in forest landscapes.
4. Sustainable finance: RMFN–Asia will enhance the capacity of forest landscape stakeholders to access financial resources.
