World Cocoa Foundation's 2026 Partnership Meeting

The World Cocoa Foundation's (WCF) 2026 Partnership Meeting will take place 17–18 February at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam during Amsterdam Cocoa Week. The meeting is the most influential global forum for debate and collaboration on cocoa and chocolate sustainability, and this year’s theme, “Securing Cocoa’s Future in a Changing World”, reflects the critical challenges shaping the sector’s future.

Daniel Arancibia, Proforest's Executive Director - Latin America, will be moderating the panel Driving Measurable Impact in Forest Protection and Restoration:

With deforestation and forest degradation continuing to pose risks to landscapes and supply chains, the sector must identify scalable, credible, and practical approaches for forest protection and restoration. This session will bring together experts in policy, science, markets, and implementation to explore actionable strategies for mitigating forest loss, strengthening investment, and driving measurable outcomes. Panellists will highlight threats and monitoring challenges due to data gaps, examine technical approaches and successful case studies, discuss the business case and incentives, and identify pathways to overcome policy and reporting bottlenecks.
