No results found.The "Future of Forests" conference, convened in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 16 to 18 October 2007, was an important effort to understand the views of a wide spectrum of stakeholders on how forestry in Asia and the Pacific will unfold in the future in view of larger societal changes. A comprehensive set of forestry and related topics was addressed, including sessions describing land-use dynamics and underlying forestry trends, key drivers of change in forestry, shifts in forest policies and institu tions, efforts to balance social, environmental and economic functions of forestry, globalization and national outlooks, and civil society and private sector perspectives on forestry. All of these were drawn together to help describe potential futures for forests in the region and to chart prospective ways forward. -
Book (stand-alone)What does it take? The role of incentives in forest plantation development in Asia and the Pacific 2004
Also available in:
No results found.Over the past two decades, political developments as well as macro-economic and extra-sectoral policies have affected the forests of Asia and the Pacific to an unprecedented extent, resulting in deforestation and forest degradation. Responding to the diminishing capacity of the region's natural forests to produce timber, many countries have turned to forest plantations. Governments and their respective forest agencies are asking what it takes to encourage non-government entities to grow trees. Y et little is known about the role that direct and indirect incentives have in influencing plantation development. This publication helps fill this knowledge gap by examining how incentives influence plantation development through a series of country case studies in the region. The overall picture that emerges is sufficiently coherent to outline a set of guiding principles to help policy-makers and forest managers better understand the key issues, challenges and opportunities concerning private i nvestment in forest plantation development. -
