[IUFRO Div 6] new FP&E Commentary applying a "horizon scan" on 2026 forest-related livelihood issues

Dear researchers in social and human aspects of forests, Some renowned colleagues from within the FLARE network just applied a very interesting study format, i.e. horizon scanning, and published it with us as an open access FP&E Commentary article here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389934126000432 . This horizon scan approach is like a little Delphi study, through which the authors are "forecasting" emerging and upcoming forest-related livelihood issues for a commencing calendar year. I am flagging this one particular article only in order to introduce this interesting study format to our peers. Some of you, who hold extensive and long-standing expert networks in your respective fields, might consider doing a similarly well-done exercise on an identifiable and discernable issue or field of your expertise. In such event, the FP&E article type "Commentary - Research Trends" might be a suitable format, which we warmly welcome. Please feel free to spread the word or forward this message. With best wishes, Lukas --------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Lukas Giessen Chair of Tropical and International Forestry; TU Dresden/Germany<https://tu-dresden.de/bu/umwelt/forst/inter/tropen/die-professur/inhaber-in?set_language=en> Editor in Chief -->Forest Policy and Economics<http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics/&… (Elsevier) --> formerly (2019-2022) Knowledge to Action K2A (EFI) <https://efi.int/publications-bank/k2a> Profiles: --> Google Scholar <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=nbutS6kAAAAJ&hl=de&oi=ao>
