Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Forests
Deadline for submission: 30 September 2012
Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, a
quarterly journal issued by the Division for Sustainable Development of the
United Nations, calls for papers for a special issue on forests, to be
published in 2013.
Articles submitted for this special section should be relevant to
policymaking, and should address forests from a sustainable development
perspective, i.e. treating economic, social, and environmental aspects in an
integrated way. Angles of interest can include:
• Analysis of the forestry sector’s structure and implications for the
sharing of benefits from forests across developed and developing countries, as
well as within receiving countries
• Links between forests and other economic sectors at the national or
sub-national level (including cross-country comparisons): how are conflicts,
synergies managed, and what is the impact on long-term development
perspectives?
• Case studies on forest management at the local or national level
--Integrated assessments of forest sector development
--Implementation challenges for sustainable management of forests (e.g.
competing interests, institutional capacity, stakeholders’ involvement,
sustainability of the industry)
--Assessment of national policies, regulations and incentives for sustainable
forest management: how successful have they been?
• Implications of global or regional trends in demand for forest products
for sustainable development and poverty eradication in developing countries
• Assessment of international and national market instruments linked with
forest management (e.g. ecosystem services, REDD, certification schemes)
• Trends in international forest governance and their implications for
sustainable development
Articles should contain original material and should be between 6,000 and
8,000 words in length.
