Book (stand-alone)Forest Futures: Sustainable pathways for forests, landscapes and people in the Asia-Pacific region 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Forests and landscapes in the Asia-Pacific region are under increasing pressure from economic development, climate change, demographic shifts, conflicts over tenure and land use, and other stressors. This, the third Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study, presents scenarios and a strategic analysis to help policymakers and other actors understand the implications of these stressors for forests and forestry in the Asia-Pacific region and how best to address the challenges ahead. The product of outstanding collaboration among institutions, networks and more than 800 individuals across the region, the study examines the drivers of change in the region’s forest sector and explores three scenarios – business-as-usual, aspirational and disruptive – to 2030 and 2050. It shows that “more of the same” will likely lead to highly negative outcomes over both time horizons. On the other hand, the adoption of landscape approaches and other key measures could help realize the enormous potential of forests – with their capacity to simultaneously perform multiple economic, social and environmental functions – to help achieve development goals in and beyond the forest sector. A key message of the report is that the region must respond now to ensure the resilience of forests, landscapes and communities and thereby avoid catastrophic outcomes. The report sets out seven “robust actions” for operationalizing this response. -

No results found.During the last APFW, a high-level session was organized on regional initiatives on Forest and Landscape Restoration with the idea to initiate a discussion on the preparation of a regional Action Plan. During this session, most country representatives recognized the importance of FLR issues and proposed to to continue the dialogue on this regional Action Plan at the upcoming COFO session. At the APFC session on FLR (item 12), held on Friday 26/02/2016, member States recommended to FAO to sup port the preparation of this regionally-shared vision and Action Plan on Forest and Landscape Restoration. Based on this recommendation, the FLRM team and the RAP in Bangkok decided to hire an international consultant to prepare a draft strategy and an action plan for further discussion during COFO at a side event proposed jointly by FAO and key regional partners such as APF Net and WRI. By building on current regional dynamics on Forest and Landscape Restoration in the Asia-Pacific region, th is side event will allow to present the draft strategy and action plan on FLR to member State representatives in order to move forward an ambitious regional initiative on FLR (See below the detailed Agenda). -
