Development Goals

The Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have directed increased political attention to forests and their sustainable management globally. Forest concessions are a predominant instrument for the sustainable management of public production natural forests in the tropics, but the relationship between the SDGs and forest concessions is poorly explored. Knowledge of this relationship could facilitate aligning tropical forest concession regimes with the SDGs. This research was conducted by means of an online survey, expert interviews and four regional stakeholder workshops to examine (i) how forest concessions can support the implementation of the SDGs; and (ii) what are the key barriers hindering the potential contributions of forest concessions to the SDG. The findings revealed three broad pathways through which forest concessions can support the implementation of the SDGs: (i) sustainable use and management of ecosystem goods and services as the core business; (ii) provision of public goods for socioeconomic development; and (iii) contribution to (sub) national economies through income, employment and fiscal obligations. The paper identifies region-specific (Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia) technical, legal, governance and institutional barriers limiting the potential contributions. Among these, the key barriers are unclear and conflicting tenure, and the lack of available technical and qualified personnel. The paper concludes that the contributions of forest concessions to the SDGs depend on governance context and the clear use of the instrument to deliver such objectives as better planned and implemented concessions and binding concession contracts. The paper also provides recommendations for aligning forest concessions with the SDGs.

A crescente preocupação com as questões ambientais, principalmente com o avanço do desmatamento ilegal de florestas nativas, fortaleceu uma demanda por madeira certificada no mercado brasileiro e mundial. Essa tem sido a justificativa para no crescente mercado de certificações na área florestal, bem como a descentralização de gestão por parte governo por meio das concessões de florestas nacionais. Baseado neste contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a influência da certificação florestal para acesso ao uso dos recursos madeireiros por meio manejo das florestas naturais. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo visando compreender o público atendido pela certificação florestal dentre os diversos demandadores de madeira, que tipo de floresta está sendo certificada (Nativa ou Plantada), bem como a mudança estrutural do Estado na gestão de florestas públicas a partir do modelo de bom manejo florestal defendido pela certificação voluntária. Como resultado foi possível observar que houve aumento da participação das florestas plantadas na produção florestal madeireira e que a certificação florestal e o manejo florestal sob a forma de concessão de florestas nacionais pelo Estado, não são suficientes para reduzir a níveis significativos o desmatamento no país.AbstractThe growing concern with environmental issues, especially with the advance of illegal deforestation of native forests, strengthened demand for certified wood in the Brazilian and world market. This has been the reason for the growing market of certification in forestry, as well as the government party for management decentralization through the national forest concessions. Based on this context, this study aims to analyze the influence of forest certification to access the use and management of natural forests. Therefore, an exploratory research of qualitative and quantitative order to understand that public forest certification meet among the various wood consumers was held, what kind of forest is being certified (Native or planted) and the structural state of change in management of public forests from good forest management model advocated by voluntary certification. As a result it was observed that there was increase in the share of planted forests in the timber forest production and forest certification and forest management in the form of granting State by national forests, they are not enough to reduce the significant levels of deforestation in the country.
