One work area of IUFRO's Science-Policy Programme are follow-up studies of global assessments. Since 2009, seven global assessment reports have been published by the Global Forest Expert Panels. Some of the global studies will undergo a review and will be updated in a thorough process.

The first project in the new IUFRO-GFEP product line of update and follow-up studies summarizes the latest available knowledge on the effects of REDD+ implementation.
