| 總結: | The international dialogue on forests following the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development in 1992, and the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002,
highlights the importance of cross-sectoral public policy linkages in the advancement of sustainable
forest management. The decisions taken at the World Summit on Sustainable Development place
forests in the context of sustainable development as a substantial part of the natural resource base for
economic and social advancement. They acknowledge the multiple and varying productive functions
and environmental services of forests for poverty alleviation, as raw material and energy sources, and
as natural habitats. The implementation plan highlights the role of forests in several policy domains
and points to the fact that forest protection and forestry practices are closely linked to public policies
that address measures on climate change, biodiversity and the institutional framework for sustainable
development.
Sustainable forest management is identified as a critical means for significantly reducing deforestation,
halting the loss of forest biodiversity, and avoiding land and resource degradation. Its role in
improving food security and access to safe drinking water and affordable energy is specifically mentioned.
Sustainable forest management provides multiple benefits of both natural and planted forests
and trees, and contributes to the well-being of the planet and of humanity. Its achievement, nationally
and globally, through partnerships between governments and a large number of stakeholders, including
the private sector, indigenous and local communities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is an
essential goal in maintaining the natural resource base. |
