Forests, Landscapes & Governance: multiple roles, multiple actors September 2009 Author: Carter, J. et al. The overwhelming conclusion of the two workshops documented in this publication is that the future of the world’s forest depends not so much on technical knowledge or financial investment (although both are important), but on their good governance – based on mutual respect and agreement between different stakeholders on the way forward. Simply said (but far more difficult to implement), political, social and economic decisions over resource management, use and benefit sharing should be based on legal frameworks and procedures that are equitable, transparent, and broadly accepted by members of society. Society here encompasses different levels – from the very local level (that of individual village or forest), to the landscape level, to the national, regional and also the international level.
