The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International Day of Forests (IDF). The Day celebrates and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. On each International Day of Forests, countries including Vanuatu are encouraged to undertake local and national efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns. The Department of Forestry has been taking lead as part of climate change mitigation efforts since 2015. The theme for each International Day of Forests is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests.
In 2024, the theme will be 'Forests and innovation.'
