\nVenue<\/strong>: Tonantei (Room No. 201), 2F, Inamori Foundation Building, CSEAS, Kyoto University<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong>:
\nThe recent Asia Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook study (UNFAO 2019) identified four discourses in governance that have shaped the region\u2019s forest landscapes: forestry for timber; participatory forestry; multiple benefits from forests; and climate change and sustainable development. Efforts to strengthen forest governance in the region include increasing stakeholder participation, market-based approaches, forest-related conflict management, and institutional reform.<\/p>\n

While governance is improving, conflicts continue over forestland appropriation for agriculture or tree crops, and over land tenure and allocation. Experts and policy makers debate the mechanisms for benefit sharing from conventional forest products and from new sources of income through climate finance or other payments for environmental services.
\nEfforts to shift the role of forest agencies from dominant players and \u2018forest gatekeepers\u2019 to facilitators of participatory approaches are having limited impact.
\nThe aim of this roundtable is to bring together scholars on forest governance based in Japan to present recent work and discuss future directions in forest governance in the region, including mechanisms for achieving Sustainable Development Goals, and forest conservation, restoration and sustainable management.<\/p>\n

Key questions for discussion<\/strong>:
\n1. What approaches to forest governance can best support greater transparency, increased participation of women,
\nindigenous peoples and youth, and provide equitable arrangements for forest and land tenure?<\/p>\n

2. What governance arrangements can build the resilience of forests and people in the face of climate change and other
\nfuture shocks and uncertainties?<\/p>\n

3. How can governance arrangements best support the landscape approach and the integration of land uses to increase forest
\necosystem goods and services?<\/p>\n

Speakers<\/strong>:
\nProfessor Yasuyuki Kono, CSEAS, Kyoto University (Chair and welcome address)
\nProfessor Wil de Jong, CSEAS, Kyoto University (Facilitator)
\nProfessor Rod Keenan, University of Melbourne, visiting scholar CSEAS
\nProfessor Jun He, Yunnan University, visiting scholar CSEAS
\nDr Heni Kurniasih, recent PhD graduate, University of Melbourne
\nDr Daisuke Naito, Tropical Forest Research & Education Unit, Kyoto University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
