FORESTRY
Forests are high on the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable
Development – as key carbon
sinks and as providers of crucial
ecosystem and social services.
A comprehensive outlook on the
future of forests in the Asia-Pacific
region was launched in June
2019 at Asia-Pacific Forestry
Week in the Republic of Korea
(p. 99). Its aim is to help
policy-makers understand the
changing nature of the region’s
forest sector to 2050 and realize
the enormous potential of forests
in achieving development goals
beyond the forest sector.
Two Forestry Working Papers
designed to help countries
improve community forestry
were released in the second
half of 2019 (p. 100): a
framework to assess the
extent and effectiveness of
community-based forestry and a
review of forest-tenure systems
and the extent to which such
systems enable the participation
of local people.
Forthcoming titles include an
edition of the journal Unasylva
on “Forests: nature-based
solutions for water”, and a
report presenting new data on
vulnerability to food insecurity in
mountain regions. •
