Key drivers of change
What happens to forests and forestry is
determined to a large extent by whathappens outside the forestry sector and
by larger societal changes.

Key drivers of change: Demographics
Asia-Pacificworlds mostdensely populated region
Population increase
3.6 billion (2005)4.2 billion (2020)
Greatest increases in
densely populated
developing countries
Urban population
38% people in urban areas (2005)
47% people in urban areas (2020)

Key drivers of change: Economics
High growth rates increasing thedemand for food, fiber and fuel
Poverty rates will decline, but the
number of poor will remain high
Recent reductions, export orientated
countries hit hardest (e.g., Cambodia,
Malaysia, Thailand)
Swelling middle class
Structural changes: Declining importance of agriculture in
income and employment
Globalization Diminishing importance of the role of
governments
8/13/2019 FAO Bruno Cammaert
17/22
Key drivers of change: Agriculture
Agricultural expansion is theprimary reason for forestconversion in many countries
A few agricultural cropsaccount for a largeproportion of deforestation
Rubber plantations are
expanding in forest areas
Oil palm plantations set tospread significantly

Key drivers of change: Infrastructure
Road network expansiongreatest in more
developed countries
Impacts greatest in less
developed countries

Key drivers of change: Politics and
policies
Greater democracy and political accountability
Transparency in functioning and accountability
of public institutions and officialsrights to
information
Forest governance under increased public
scrutiny
Demands for participation in public policy
decision making
Shift from timber-focused management to
multiple-use management
Greater emphasis on ecosystem services and
sustainable development
Potential contributions of forestry to green
economy
8/13/2019 FAO Bruno Cammaert

Key drivers of change: Societal and
Environmental concerns
Local and national issues andactions
Global and regional
environmental
drivers:
International commitments
and the outcomes of climate
change negotiations
Pressure from stakeholders
in the global forest resource

Progress toward Sustainable Forest
Management
Improved stakeholder participation andlocal forest tenure mainstreamed into
National Forest Programmes
Sustained efforts in
REDD+ readiness
FLEGT: demand and supply
Third party certification of
legality, SFM andChain-of-Custody
Payments for ecosystem services (PES)
