ATREE Social Network Analysis survey on policy options regarding CO2 mitigation and sequestration in wood and forest

In January 2020 a social network analysis survey was conducted among forest policy stakeholders (at the organizational level) from the Canton of Lucerne as well as the national level. The aim was to elicit positions relative to a set of policy options currently discussed with respect to carbon mitigation and sequestration services of the forest, i.e. forest management and to establish information and collaboration network relations in order to identify actor coalitions as inspired by the "actor coalition framework" approach to policy analysis. Of the 66 questionnaires sent out, 51 were answered (77%). Only one additional organization was indicated as being missing from the provided list of stakeholder organizations.
