PROFOR

UNFF-7 Side Event - April 18, 2007
Background Paper on Means of Implementation

 

Central to the discussion on global commitments on forests is the issue of means of implementation, including financial resources. At UNFF-6, delegates identified potential mechanisms to support action toward the UNFF's four global objectives and sustainable forest management (SFM) more broadly. In response, PROFOR commissioned a paper on Means of Implementation from a team of independent experts to serve as background information for the discussions at UNFF-7. The paper reviews current and emerging financial instruments or 'financial architecture' for forestry and discusses the range of financial or incentive instruments which can respond to UNFF objectives.
