As the global community looks for ways to move to a greener economy, it is increasingly clear that forests, forestry and forest products must play a central role.
The ninth biennial issue of State of the World’s Forests, published at the outset of 2011, the International Year of Forests, considers the theme ‘Changing pathways, changing lives: forests as multiple pathways to sustainable development’. It takes a holistic view of the multiple ways in which forests support livelihoods.
