ArticleForest-based bioeconomy pathways with emerging lignocellulosic products: A modeling approach
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.The forest-based sector plays an important role in a growing bioeconomy. Long-term resource availability and allocation will be a major challenge for the bioeconomy development. Therefore, this study aims to assess how forest product markets could develop in a growing bioeconomy and which interdependencies occur between traditional and emerging forest-based subsectors. Especially, the demand for wood-based textile fibres could dynamically grow over the next decades while there might be conflicting demand for wood resources from traditional subsectors. Thus, we include dissolving pulp, lignocellulose-based textile fibres and chemical derivatives in our modelling assessment. For this purpose, we extend the product structure of a partial equilibrium model, the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM). We use an econometric approach to compute demand and trade elasticities of the emerging products. We parameterize the extended model with these elasticities and analyze three different bioeconomy scenarios. In the first scenario, the demand for woody biomass remains similar to the current pattern. In the second scenario, the use of woody biomass increases primarily to satisfy growing input demand from the energy sector. In the third scenario, biomass is increasingly used as input to produce diverse industrial and everyday products. The simulation results show that, in the third scenario, where the world is changing toward a sustainable bioeconomy, wood consumption pattern shifts away from fuelwood (-30% by 2050) and paper products (-32% by 2050) towards emerging products. In this context, the dissolving pulp subsector could outpace the continuously shrinking paper pulp subsector in 2050. For this development, the dissolving pulp subsector mainly uses released resources from the decreasing paper pulp production. Simultaneously, wood-based panels are increasingly applied (+196% by 2050) while the growth of sawnwood remains limited.

ArticleThe SFI conservation impact project: supporting forest-based solutions for climate- change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.SFI has provided certification standards for sustainable forest practices and forest fiber procurement since 1995, and has experienced tremendous growth, such that SFI’s Forest Management Standard is the most widely applied single forest management standard in the world, with over 365 million certified acres (147 million hectares). Seeing the need for better understanding of the conservation related outcomes from decades of sustainable management, SFI initiated the Conservation Impact Project in 2016 to enumerate outcomes across the critical themes of climate change, biodiversity, and water. Findings of these collaborative research projects reveal the critical role of these certified forests toward landscape-scale biodiversity, wide ranging bird species in decline, and carbon capture and storage. These findings make clear that SFI Certified forests contribute significantly and uniquely to forest conservation outcomes in the United States and Canada and suggest the potential importance of sustainably managed certified forests in meeting global conservation objectives.

ArticleReorientation in management and utilization of non-timber forest products commodity based on the local knowledge under new forest management unit in Indonesian New Guinea

No results found.Non-timber Forest Products have played the important roles to the entire livelihoods of the indigenous community living inside and outside the forest areas. These non-wood products are being ignored because of several reasons ranging from inadequate of formal regulations, which are mostly focused on timber harvesting,lack of data on their distributions in nature, less capital investment to their diversities is enormous made them difficult to put in the nomination focus. It seems that these forest product commodities are being neglected despite of their irreplaceable contribution of local and indigenous community in fulfilling their daily foods, energy, medicinal plants, protein, and other essential substances. Utilization of non-timber forest products in Indonesian New Guinea could be divided into seven classifications such as a) staple foods for carbohydrates, vitamin, mineral, protein and lipid, b) energy for daily cooking and warming traditional house or huts, c) material for traditional constructions of sea or river transportation, housing wall and roofing, d) sources of medicinal plants and herbs from nature, e) raw material for traditional handcraft (dyeing, natural fibres, sculpture), f) an extra income and informal works by direct selling their harvested non-timber commodities when their necessities are fulfilled, g) customary land right that could not be sold, transferred or replaced as natural forest providing shelter for ancestors, inspirations, magic, and others. Utilization of non-timber forest products have to be focused with local products already existed, and intervention could be focused for value added purposes such as branding, labeling, packaging, standardization, and marketing chain implemented as the new directions to improve direct contributions to local and indigenous community.
