FACT DIALOGUE FORUM 2026: “Scaling Inclusive Traceability & Transparency”

The FACT Forum 2026 will convene under the theme “Scaling Inclusive Traceability & Transparency”. To reach our joint commitments, e.g. from Paris Agreement, and building on the momentum of the 2025 Forum, this gathering marks a deliberate pivot: the global conversation has matured from asking “Is there a need for action?” to “How do we operationalize deforestation-free supply chains in a way that is as smallholder inclusive as possible?” In this years’ Forum, we would like to look at the opportunities of traceability and transparency (T&T) as tools for inclusion and also share and discuss other promising approaches of FACT member countries.
