World Series Vol. 39 - Forests, Trees and the Eradication of Poverty: Potential and Limitations
The Global Forest Expert Panel on Forests and Poverty chaired by Daniel C. Miller prepared a scientific synthesis report and accompanying policy brief launched online on 15 October 2020, in the run-up to the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. A total of 21 Panel members from 10 countries and an additional 33 experts contributed to and-or reviewed this major assessment of available scientific information about the interactions between forests and poverty.
The primary global policy context for this assessment is shaped by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report specifically highlights the nexus between SDG 1 on ending poverty and SDG 15 on life on land, as well as relevant links to other SDGs.
