Current activities include:
- Supporting the setting up of new legislation in China on promotion of legally-sourced timber and timber products
- Further developing trilateral cooperation between China, Indonesia and the EU on promoting trade of legally-sourced timber and timber products
- Providing information about timber legality developments in China to international stakeholders, and information to Chinese stakeholders about international markets
- Creating synergies and strengthening the cooperation between China and VPA countries in Asia and Africa on forest governance
