Dear all,
for your information,
13 Experts from the IUFRO WP 9.01.05 on research and development of indicators for SFM have jointly elaborated two publications covering all C&I processes and regions worldwide.
The highlights comprise:
* Eleven processes for forest-related C&I were analysed.
* Up to 171 countries are members of this processes
* We found varying levels of implementation across countries and regions.
* Common achievements of the processes are presented.
* Success factors for C&I implementation are proposed.
* We analyse impacts of indicators from regional and international C&I processes
* We identify six major impacts that apply to the C&I efforts: (1) enhanced discourse and understanding of SFM; (2) shaped and focused engagement of science in SFM; (3) improved monitoring and reporting on SFM to facilitate transparency and evidence-based decision-making; (4) strengthened forest management practices; (5) facilitated assessment of progress towards SFM goals; and (6) improved forest-related dialog and communication.
* We conclude that the 25-year history of C&I work in forestry has had significant positive impacts, though challenges do remain for the implementation of C&I and progress towards SFM.
