Abstract

In this discussion paper, we discuss what benefits Finnish citizens and companies can derive from forest data, and how the benefits of that data depend on rights to forests. Environmental protection, everyone’s forest use, bioeconomy, and tourism may benefit from increased access to forest data. Access to forest data is a democratic right by itself. Forest data allow actors to derive more value from their existing forest rights and may spark demands for clarification or reformulation of forest rights. Transparency of forest data also allows voluntary trade in forest ecosystem services. Increased access to forest data may also contribute to forest-related conflicts, given that various, at times contradictory interests are directed at forests. At best, increased access to forest data and information may support the renewal of forest governance to become more democratic, legitimate, and effective.
增加获得森林数据的机会,以增进所有人的森林利益
在本讨论文件中,我们讨论了芬兰公民和公司可以从森林数据中获得哪些好处,以及这些数据的好处如何取决于森林权利。环境保护、每个人的森林利用、生物经济和旅游业都可能受益于森林数据获取的增加。获取森林数据本身就是一项民主权利。森林数据使行动者能够从其现有森林权利中获得更多价值,并可能引发澄清或重新制定森林权利的要求。森林数据的透明度也使森林生态系统服务的自愿贸易成为可能。更多地获得森林数据也可能助长与森林有关的冲突,因为各种有时相互矛盾的利益都是针对森林的。在最好的情况下,增加对森林数据和信息的获取可能有助于森林治理的更新,使其变得更加民主、合法和有效。
