China’s recent "Farmland to Forests and Grasslands" policy will potentially take millions of hectares of steep agricultural land out of production and convert it back to forest. Farmers will be encouraged to give up farming steep slopes. Initial compensation will include grain stocks given to farm families (transferred from surplus producing areas). Alternative employment will be provided in forest rehabilitation activities. The policy objective is to reduce erosion and siltation from steep farmland and enhance ecological conditions. |

One of the rare positive impacts of other sectors on forestry in the Near East Region (NER) relates to the Ministries of Municipal and Village Affairs or their equivalents in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Arab Gulf States, Qatar, Oman, Iran and perhaps Egypt. In these countries, extensive green spaces, road-side plantings and wood lots have been established using treated waste water and particularly Treated Sewage Water (TSW). Diverse collections of date palms, ornamental trees/shrubs and forest trees have been deployed. In view of the water shortages, the use of TSW is emerging as a speciality in NER, being used in urban settings as well as in sand dune stabilisation and establishment of forest plantations. Examples of NER countries utilising TSW in the latter activities include Kuwait, Tunisia and Yemen. |

Summary |

Soil salination due to rising water tables in New South Wales has led to a scheme of salt credits whereby land owners are paid for the amount of water transpired per hectare. As trees are able to transpire large quantities of water afforestation is expected to take place. Increasing salinity is one of the most crucial environmental problems facing Australia. Farming practices which replaced native vegetation with shallow-rooted crops and pastures caused groundwater levels to rise, bringing with them dissolved salt. Salt is thus being transported to the root-zones of remnant vegetation, crops, pastures, and into wetlands, streams and river systems. The rising water tables are also affecting rural infrastructure including buildings, roads, pipes and underground cables. The Macquarie River in central western NSW is projected to double in salinity in the next 20 years. In areas with rainfall above 600mm, deep drainage under pasture can be 20 times higher than under native woodland. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with State Forests of NSW, MRFF, which represents more than 600 Macquarie Valley irrigation farmers, will purchase salinity control credits based on the quantity of water transpired from 100 hectares of newly planted forest in the upper Macquarie catchment. The irrigators will benefit from tree plantings by securing water quality, these benefits will then be passed on to the water-using community. The natural groundwater in the Murray Darling Basin is inherently high in salt. State Forests will also plant a range of tree species on 50 trial sites in western NSW in 2001. The trial planting program follows a memorandum of understanding between the Minister for Forestry and Minister for Land and Water Conservation to encourage plantation forestry as a means of addressing the dryland salinity problem. Trees to be planted include salt and drought tolerant species, such as river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), and varieties known to be both drought tolerant and to have potential for products like charcoal including red ironbark (Eucalyptus sideoxylon) and black wattle (Acacia mearnsii). |

The EC packaging directive affected the forestry sector by reducing demand for wood pulp as a result of the increased recycling of packaging that the policy demanded. In Germany the policy was implemented to a higher degree than demanded by the policy and recovered paper production and exports increased dramatically as consumption capacity did not simultaneously increase. The policy has remained with the market absorbing the 'shock'. |

Desertification control in Mexico, Chile and China. Statements for Chile and Mexico were not available from United Nations Secretariat of the Convention to Combat Desertification. China: Desertified land is mainly in arid, semi- arid and dry sub-humid areas of the west part of Northeast China, Northern China, Northwest China and the north of Tibet. The area of desertified land is approximately 3.327 million sq. km. Objectives of first project phase included (1996-2000): revegetation of 12.15 million ha. of degraded steppe, desert steppe and rangelands; establishment of 6.905 million ha. with plantation; the second phase included (2001-2010): establishment of 6.69 million ha. of forest plantation; Objectives of the third phase (2011-2050) included bringing into control nearly all desertified land. The Convention to Combat Desertification aims to "promote effective action through innovative local programs and supportive international partnerships. Drawing on past lessons, the Convention states that these programmes must adopt a democratic, bottom-up approach. They should emphasise popular participation and the creation of an "enabling environment" and must make politically sensitive changes, such as decentralising authority, improving land-tenure systems, and empowering women, farmers, and pastoralists. They should also permit non-governmental organisations to play a strong role in preparing and implementing the programmes. The programmes must be fully integrated with other national policies for sustainable development. "Developed countries are expected to encourage the mobilisation of substantial funding for the action programmes. They should also promote access to appropriate technologies, knowledge, and know-how." |

Summary |
||||||||||||
The Kyoto protocol aims to internalise costs associated with anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide by requiring countries to reduce net emissions. The role of forests although not yet fully established may be of importance if establishment of forest is allowed to count as an offset against emissions. Furthermore carbon trading may allow forests to be established in developing countries, where labour costs are lower, by developed countries wishing to reduce their net contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide. The ultimate objective of the convention is to limit human-induced disturbances to the global climate system by seeking to achieve a stable level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In 1997 the COP adopted an additional legally binding commitment, the Kyoto Protocol, which sets out emission reduction targets and methods. This protocol has been signed by 84 States, and as of 25 June 2001 has been ratified by 35, but has not yet entered into force. Thirty-nine developed countries and countries with economies in transition commit themselves to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5 percent compared to 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. However, the Kyoto Protocol does not include further operational details that will determine how these cuts are to be achieved and how countries’ efforts are to be measured and assessed. |

The Convention on Biological Diversity has three goals: 1) the conservation of biological diversity; 3) the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity; 3) the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. A large part of the world’s terrestrial biological diversity is found in forests; forest ecosystems are estimated to contain 70 percent of the world’s plant and animal species. Since its adoption, CBD has considerably expanded its horizon to include forests within its purview. In 1995, COP-2 adopted a statement on biological diversity and forests and stressed that forests have a crucial role in maintaining global biological diversity. Subsequently, a Work Programme for Forest Biological Diversity was adopted by COP-3 in 1996. The Work Programme focuses on the research, co-operation and development of technologies necessary for the conservation and sustainable use of forest biological diversity of all types of forests. In 1998, COP-4 decided to consider forests one of the three priority themes for COP-6 in 2002. It also established an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Forest Biological Diversity. Another influential link with forests is provided by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which provides funding for projects under CBD that support activities related to biological diversity, including forest biological diversity. Further, CBD established in 2000 the Global Taxonomy Initiative, which is also of relevance to forests. |

Introduction/encouragement/subsidy for new agricultural technologies. Trade offs and win-lose between forest conservation and technological progress in agriculture in areas near forests appear to be the rule rather than the exception. However, win-win opportunities exist. By promoting appropriate technologies and modifying the economic and political environment in which farmers operate, policy makers and other stakeholders can foster them. New technologies are more likely to encourage deforestation when they involve products with elastic demand (supply increases do not depress prices much). This typically applies to export commodities. The stories of commodity booms and deforestation are almost always about export crops. On the contrary, higher supplies typically depress the price of products sold only in local or regionalised markets rather rapidly. That dampens the expansionary impact of the technological change and may even override it. But it also dampens the growth in farmer’s income. It is not a case of slowing down agricultural intensification but of identifying technologies and intensification strategies that come as near to win-win as possible. |

Development projects remove the best in country staff from doing necessary work and development aid has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of governance. Analyses of cross-country data provide evidence that higher aid levels erode the quality of governance, as measured by indexes of bureaucratic quality, corruption, and the rule of law. This negative relationship strengthens when instruments for aid are used to correct for potential reverse causality, and is robust to changes in the sample and to several alternative forms of estimation. Foreign aid can also weaken the state bureaucracies of recipient governments. This can occur most directly by siphoning away scarce talent from the civil service, as donor organisations often hire away the most skilled public officials at salaries many times greater than those offered by the recipient-nation government match (Brautigam, 2000: 40-41; Brautigam and Botchwey, 1998; Dollar and Pritchett, 1998: 88-89). |
