Outlook studies

Asia-Pacific main report

Comprehensive report: The main output of the Asia-Pacific Outlook Study is a comprehensive, 240-page report, which was published in October 1998. This report begins by describing the social and economic context in which the Asia-Pacific Forestry sector operates. It describes the sector status and trends in demands placed on forests; forest resources and land use; trade; people and forests; policies and institutions: and it provides an outlook of the likely main developments in these spheres and the implications and choices these present.
