Input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)

by Brigitte Burger

From: Dr. Ernest Foli <mailto:[mailto:efoli@hotmail.com]> [mailto:efoli@hotmail.com] Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR Dear Colleagues, We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and sustainable development. The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS), supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS members are found here: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019) As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world, in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major areas: (1) interactions among SDGs and their targets, (2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development; (3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and (4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be acknowledged in the GSDR. If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please follow the below link to a questionnaire. https://goo.gl/forms/bWjUsJmHPZCDkqxb2 With many thanks and kind regards, Ernest Foli, PhD. Member of the Independent Group of Scientists

On Social Aspects of Forests and Forestry - Interview with Division 6 Coordinator Tuija Sievänen

by Brigitte Burger

Read an interview with Division 6 Coordinator Tuija Sievänen of the Natural Resources Institute Finland, about the work in IUFRO Division 6 and the All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress. The range of topics covered by Division 6 is broad and goes into all kinds of issues related to the cultural and social aspects of forestry and forests. This research can offer valuable input for the understanding of the foresthuman relationship. Division 6 had many good sessions at the Congress and there were a lot of social aspects integrated into other sessions outside the Division. It is good progress to see social sciences having such a large role in forest sciences. Social issues are of growing interest in the forestry sector, and the interest will continue to grow and a broad spectrum of research will be done on those issues in future.
