Abstract

Forests are increasingly prominent in global policy discussions. Conservation, sustainable management, and restoration of forests are widely understood as necessary to reach climate and biodiversity goals. This attention to forests is vital. However, it risks overshadowing or, worse, undermining the livelihoods and well-being of the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who live in or near forests, especially Indigenous Peoples and marginalized groups. New international commitments to plant trees and halt and reverse deforestation and degradation are intensifying demands on forests and other lands. What are the implications of these shifts for the rights, livelihoods, and wellbeing of those living in forest and tree-based landscapes? What new thinking and evidence exists to help advance knowledge and policy on this topic? And what do current dynamics suggest for future research? The articles in this Special Issue on “Trends in Forest Livelihoods Research” respond to these questions. This introduction contextualizes current research at the forest-livelihoods nexus and provides an overview of the 18 articles compiled in this volume. We identify three key themes and two cross-cutting social sustainability concerns that emerge from this collected work. We conclude by highlighting implications for forest-related policy that better supports local livelihoods and broader sustainable development goals, and by identifying pressing research needs.

森林生计研究趋势 - 2024 年盘点
森林在全球政策讨论中的地位日益突出。人们普遍认为,保护、可持续管理和恢复森林是实现气候和生物多样性目标的必要条件。对森林的关注至关重要。然而,这有可能使全世界数以亿计生活在森林中或森林附近的人们,尤其是土著人民和边缘化群体的生计和福祉蒙上阴影,甚至受到损害。植树造林、制止和扭转毁林和森林退化的新国际承诺正在加剧对森林和其他土地的需求。这些变化对生活在森林和以树木为基础的景观中的人们的权利、生计和福祉有何影响?有哪些新思维和新证据可以帮助推进有关这一主题的知识和政策?当前的动态对未来的研究有何启示?本特刊中有关 "森林生计研究趋势 "的文章对这些问题做出了回答。本导言介绍了当前森林-生计关系研究的背景,并概述了本卷中收录的 18 篇文章。我们从收集到的文章中确定了三个关键主题和两个贯穿各领域的社会可持续性问题。最后,我们强调了与森林相关的政策对更好地支持当地生计和更广泛的可持续发展目标的影响,并指出了迫切的研究需求。

These disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, human geography, history, jurisprudence, planning, development studies, and psychology research on forests. Forest Policy and Economics is global in scope and publishes multiple article types of high scientific standard. Acceptance for publication is subject to a double-blind peer-review process.
