Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration

FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest
restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand
enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation,
based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts.
Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of
Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies
Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020
Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy
Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for
Future Climates and Human Well-Being
WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda
forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation
expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in
FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what
works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation.
The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the
national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and
economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration,
that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to
sustaining it.
It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest
restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya,
Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and
Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling
factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR
interventions.

Betreff: Register now to attend a webinar on building more sustainably with
wood on 23 November, 14:00 - 18:00 CET!
Dear colleagues,
Climate change is one of the most urgent and complex problems governments
face in the 21st century, and the construction sector is a major component
of the problem. In Europe alone, it is estimated that the building sector
accounts for more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, and nearly
half of total energy demand.
Wood and wood-based materials provide a major opportunity to turn the
situation around and transform the building sector so that it meets the
demands of a low-carbon economy. The production and processing of wood is
more energy-efficient than other building material, giving it a very low
carbon footprint. But using wood for construction is just one of many ways
in which forest-based materials can be used to help tackle the climate
crisis.
The UNECE/FAO Team of Specialists on Sustainable Forest Products will host a
webinar: "Building and renovation solutions to meet 21st-century climate
change, affordability, energy and sustainability criteria" on 23 November
from 14:00 - 18:00 CET, to increase the awareness and knowledge of sectoral
experts, policymakers and the wider public of the benefits of using
sustainable forest-based materials, products and systems in a wide range of
projects addressing climate-related challenges.
Discussions at this webinar will:
. Show how wood-based materials, products and systems can respond to the
climate change challenge;
. Provide practical examples of how wood-based solutions can help provide
societal needs for affordable living, working spaces and lifestyles that are
sustainable and have reduced carbon impact;
. Derive conclusions and recommendations for further awareness of
knowledge of benefits of using forest-based materials, products, and systems
in all applications.
Some of the speakers include:
. Dr. Andrew Norton, CEO-BOIS and EOS: Technical Advisor/Renuables, UK
. Mr. Peter Moonen, Canadian Wood Council, Vancouver, Canada
. Mr. Philippe Moseley, Policy Officer, Sustainable Industrial Policy and
Construction, DG Grow, EU Commission
. Mr. Eoin O'Driscoll, Leader, UNECE/FAO ToS on Sustainable Forest
Products
. Mr. Rob Bernhardt, Passive House Canada, Victoria, Canada
. Mr. Peter Wilson, Managing Director, Timber Design Initiatives,
Scotland
. Dr. Sean Smith, University of Edinburgh, Scotland
