Program on World Forests, Society and Environment (IUFRO-WFSE): Policy Briefs

IUFRO WFSE is an open, independent network of scientists and practitioners steered by 10 international research organisations, involving over 100 researchers from throughout the world. It supports sustainable natural resources management, sustainable development and inclusive growth as well as related policy processes, focusing principally on two main efforts: 1) collating, critically analysing, and synthesising existing scientific knowledge on topics of international relevance in the forest, society and environment interface in order to draw out important lessons learned and recommendations and 2) undertaking new research to fill in crucial gaps in existing knowledge. WFSE addresses these topics in a cross-sectoral, holistic and interdisciplinary fashion, encouraging innovative approaches and anticipating conditions that will influence future forest-related development at different scales, from local to global.
