Chapter 1
Can forests and trees provide means for recovery and inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies?
Chapter 2
Forests and trees provide vital goods and ecosystem services but are undervalued in economic systems
2.1
Deforestation and forest degradation persist
2.2
Ninety-five percent of rural people globally live within 5 km of forest – governments hold nearly three-quarters of forests
2.3
Societies gain huge benefits from forest ecosystem services – which account for more than one-fifth of the total wealth in land assets
2.4
The formal forest sector contributes more than USD 1.5 trillion to national economies globally
2.5
Wood energy and non-wood forest products play major roles in the majority of rural households
Chapter 3
Three interrelated forest pathways could contribute to green recovery and a transition to sustainable economies
3.1
Halting deforestation and maintaining forest ecosystem services would benefit climate, biodiversity, health and long-term food security
3.2
Forest and landscape restoration and agroforestry help diversify livelihoods and landscapes and increase land productivity
3.3
Increasing sustainable forest use, and building green value chains, would help meet future demand for materials and support sustainable economies
Chapter 4
VIABLE OPTIONS EXIST FOR SCALING UP INVESTMENT IN THE FOREST PATHWAYS – WITH POTENTIALLY CONSIDERABLE BENEFITS
4.1
Despite the high value of forests and trees, investment in them is low. Climate finance for forestry is increasing from a low base
4.2
Promising developments in mobilizing private sector finance for the forest pathways should be encouraged and monitored
4.3
Aligning incentives, regulations and markets with sustainability can catalyse a transformation towards inclusive and sustainable green economies
4.4
The potential of climate finance to assist development of the forest pathways is significant, with carbon markets experiencing significant growth
4.5
Getting finance to small-scale producers will be essential for implementing the pathways – lessons from successful and scalable experiences need to be shared
Chapter 5
SMALLHOLDERS, LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ARE CRUCIAL FOR SCALING UP IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOREST PATHWAYS
5.1
Forest-based pathways need to be attractive to land users
5.2
Securing rights is essential if smallholders, local communities and Indigenous Peoples are to deliver local recovery via the forest pathways
5.3
Strengthening local producer groups is a means for engaging small-scale actors in local recovery and development
5.4
Increasing capacity and co-producing knowledge with smallholders, local communities and Indigenous Peoples will support forest-based recovery and resilience
5.5
Digital technologies accelerate access to data, information and markets
5.6
Inclusive recovery and the development of local forest-based value chains needs the participation of women and youth
Chapter 6
THE FOREST PATHWAYS – A MEANS FOR GREEN RECOVERY AND RESILIENT ECONOMIES?
6.1
The role of forests and trees in green recovery and resilience
6.2
Is the time right for green recovery?
