ITTO Council 47th session

At this session, the Council considered:

- implementation of the Biennial Work Programme (BWP) 2010-2011, and activities to be included under the BWP for 2012-2013;
- the current status of implementation of the International Tropical Timber Organization Thematic Programmes,
- and the administrative budget for 2012.
- the status of the deposit of instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval, or accession to the International Tropical Timber Agreement (ITTA)

Although ITTO has made significant efforts to link its work with that of other forest-related multilateral environmental agreements, namely CBD, CITES and UNFCCC, the meeting was overshadowed by concerns over the long-term financial viability of the organization.
