  • Result of Roundtable Meeting on the Goho-wood for the G8 Summit

Outline of Roundtable Meeting on Goho-wood for the G8 Summit:
Discussions with members of GLOBE International on
Future Measures for a Legal Wood Supply System
  1. Purpose
    Global Legislators Organisation for a Balanced Environment (GLOBE) International is convening the Tokyo Legislators Forum in the latter part of June as part of its preparations to present a proposal on the issue of illegal logging to the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit. It is important that the achievements of comprehensive measures by Japan against illegal logging (the Goho [Legal] Wood campaign) are reflected in these preparations. Therefore, in order to disseminate information to the G8 Summit and the rest of the international community about these efforts, collaboration with relevant members from GLOBE International will be sought by inviting key members to participate in the Roundtable Meeting on the Goho-wood for the G8 Summit, a public forum for the exchange of opinions to be held as a follow-up to the Summary Statement of the International Seminar 2007 II in Yokohama.
