Synopsis (short abstract) A growing realization that the fate of forests will be determined by factors outside forests and the forestry sector has prompted efforts to unravel less obvious and often difficult-to-establish links between macro-level variables and forest condition. This thematic paper seeks to explore the links between macro-economic trends and forests in order to develop scenarios of the future macro-economic environment in the Asia-Pacific region and how this will likely affect forests and the forestry sec tor.

    This paper analyses historical trends in social and economic developments in the region and provides a commentary on factors which appear to influence growth. The implications of future development for the forestry sector are highlighted. The paper concentrates on two main variables: population and gross domestic product (GDP). It also examines wider issues thought likely to have an effect on the forestry sector, such as population density, income distribution, the structure of economies, develo pment planning, investment, trade and the prominence of the forest sector in the national economy.
