Actualidad Forestal Tropical

A resilient ITTO for turbulent times

Resilience has long been a buzzword in ITTO circles. For anyone concerned with tropical forests, it evokes sustainably managed, tree-rich ecosystems with the health and vibrancy to deliver timber and many other benefits over the long term, despite the impact of climate change and other stressors.

Now resilience is gaining wider significance for the Organization and its members, as economic and political uncertainty clouds the outlook for international trade in timber and related products and raises questions about the global pursuit of equitable and sustainable development.
