Within the International Year of Forests 2011, members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), a consortium of 14 forest-related organizations and secretariats, revisit the challenges of selling women’s involvement in forestry.

Drylands make up 40% of the world’s land area, cover greater than 100 countries and are the foundation for the livelihoods of two billion people. However the long-term sustainability of the drylands forests is in jeopardy by way of a shortage within the investments had to scale up the sustainable forest management practices and to support policies to stop and reverse land degradation. On World Day to Combat Desertification, members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), a mechanism comprising 14 global institutions and organizations facing forestry matters, called for more urgent investments to stem the growing degradation of natural resources, especially the forests in Africa’s drylands.

With new research showing that forests may absorb as much as a 3rd of all fossil fuel emissions, greater than 1,000 leading experts, activists, government negotiators and global leaders will gather at the sidelines of the UN climate summit in Durban next month to debate how forests and forest resources may be better harnessed to slow the pace of worldwide warming and help communities adapt to the changing environment. Convened by the middle for International Forestry Research on behalf of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, Forest Day 5 will seek to tell the UNFCCC global agenda and forest stakeholders on methods to implement a global REDD+ funding mechanism that produces social and environmental benefits, above and beyond avoided emissions.

Rising prices of fossil fuel in addition to global efforts to mitigate climate change and decrease greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion, places an expanded use of renewable energy high at the political agenda. Wood energy, crucial source of bioenergy on the earth, is seen as key to answer growing demands for a potentially carbon neutral supply of energy. Forests can play an important role to reply to future bioenergy demands and help to create a more stable energy future, improve environmental quality and increase economic opportunities, highlighted members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF).

The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), a global consortium of 14 organizations, secretariats and institutions engaged on international forest issues, called today for more attention to the secret role that markets play in sustaining our environment, and specifically the world’s forests.
Emmanuel ZeMeka, Executive Director of the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO, a CPF member) noted that “for lots countries forests provide a significant source of foreign currency echange and domestic revenue for economic development” and highlighted the necessity to establish markets for “a much broader range of the products and services provided by forests.” He made his remarks sooner than the ITTO’s Annual Market Discussions in La Antigua, Guatemala, which discuss some great benefits of trade in wood products to the international community.
