1 2016 SWST International Conference Forest Resource and Products: Moving Toward a Sustainable Future Sustainable development International framework Overview and analysis in the context of Forests and Forest products A policy point of view with the CSR
2 Forests and forest products The sustainability of forests and forest products is in a significant role. There are multiple opportunities towards sustainability in the forests and forest product markets
3 International policy framework With Green initiatives: Green Economy (United Nations, UNEP, Global Green New Deal launched in 2008) Bioeconomy Strategy (European Union in 2012, Finland in 2014) Green Growth (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, OECD, Declaration on Green Growth adopted at the Meeting of the Council at Ministerial Level on 25 June 2009 ) / A policy point of view with the CSR
4 Sustainable Development Our Common Future, the Brundtland Report, United Nations, 1987 with the definition: Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, WCED)
5 United Nations - Green Economy Definition: Green economy is a system which results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. (UNEP 2010) Action Plan s vision for Green Economy: "In a green economy, the forest sector makes a maximum contribution to human well-being, through the supply of marketed and unmarketed forest goods and services, and the creation of revenue and livelihoods, while conserving forest biodiversity, and maintaining and developing forest ecosystem services on a sustainable basis, all within the context of a changing climate. A green economy opens up additional opportunities for growth and employment in the forest sector." "In a green economy, the forest sector protects the welfare of all stakeholders, including forest dependent indigenous peoples, forest owners, forest industry and the forestry workforce, uses all resources wisely and economically, and contributes to the mitigation of climate change through both sequestration and substitution, while providing tools for climate change adaptation of societies. "In a green economy, forest sector governance systems take into full account all of the ecosystem services provided by the forest, compensating suppliers for providing them whenever feasible. Progress is monitored in a transparent way, and policies adjusted to reach the goals which will be agreed at the national, regional or local levels. The forest sector learns from other parts of the emerging green economy and shares its own experience with them, to mutual benefit. ( The Rovaniemi Action Plan for the Forest Sector in a Green Economy was adopted on 13 December 2013 in Rovaniemy Finland, at the joint session of the UNECE Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry and the FAO European Forestry Commission ) Curitiba, 5 Brazil /
6 OECD - Green Growth Definition: Green growth means fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. To do this it must catalyse investment and innovation that will underpin sustained growth and give rise to new economic opportunities. (OECD) Curitiba, Brazil /
7 Bioeconomy strategy Bioeconomy is a concept in a wider scope in the Green Economy. Forests are a resource for Bioeconomy. Sustainability with competitiveness are highlighted in the New European Union Forest Strategy 2013 and the Resolution A new EU Forest Strategy: for forests and the forest-based sector The European Union Bioeconomy strategy highlights competitiveness, markets, stakeholder engagement, innovation and investments in research. / A policy point of view with the CSR Curitiba, Brazil /
8 Research questions: How is stakeholder collaboration represented in an international and national policy framework and what is the role of corporations in the corporate social responsibility approach? How do stakeholders represent Green Economy with Bioeconomy and Green Growth and the CSR in ecosystem services? Whether to the Advocacy Coalition Framework approach with an international and national policy aspect, how can the sustainable development and competitiveness be enhanced with Green Growth, Green Economy and Bioeconomy? / A policy point of view with the CSR
9 Policy and CSR The goal is in combining the economic growth with environmental and social targets. The European Union Bioeconomy strategy highlights competitiveness, markets, stakeholder engagement, innovation and investments in research. / A policy point of view with the CSR
