Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forest-related governance is fragmented. There is no international forest convention that comprehensively addresses forest-related issues. Currently, forest-related issues are widely discussed under the various international platforms and conventions, such as the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the United Nations Forum on Forests. The links between forest-related policies at national and local levels, and the concepts and agenda discussed at the international arena (e.g., the sustainable development goals, sustainable forest management, climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and nature-based solutions) are becoming increasingly important, while the studies on those links are limited.
In this Special Issue, we will invite a variety of studies that analyze the relationships between forest-related policies and global environmental governance, and that address at least one of the concepts and agenda mentioned above.
