State of the World's Forests 2011

 State of the World’s Forests, which is published on a  biennial basis, presents up-to-date information on key  themes affecting the world’s forests. The 2009 issue  considered the theme of ‘Society, forests and forestry:  adapting for the future’ by presenting a ‘demand-side’  perspective on forest trends and topics. The 2011 issue  takes a more holistic approach to the multiple ways in  which forests support people’s livelihoods under the  theme ‘Changing pathways, changing lives: forests  as multiple pathways to sustainable development’. To  explore this theme, the report tackles three core subjects  – sustainable forest industries, climate change and local  livelihoods – and examines their potential to stimulate  development at all levels.
