C5, is difficult to get the data, as large number of people are part time employment in forestry; and for employment in logging, there will be different between the logging mechaine and artificial.
C15, Percentage change in area of degraded forest: there is no accepted definition about the "degraded forest".
C14, Forest health and vitality: % of forest area disturbed: is also a indicator that data collection is difficult.
C20, recovery rates for paper and solid wood products (volume recovered for re-use as % of volume consumed): it is not about SFM.
C21, Carbon stocks and carbon stock changes in forest land: net forest GHG sink/source of forests, forest carbon stock, carbon storage in harvested wood products (Tons C): it will take a long time for many countries to report it, it is not operational.
I am from China, and I have been involved in Montreal Process for a long time, I have comments about the Global C&I which are talking about.
1, It is very difficult for us to development a core set of C&I related forest, as forest is a very complicated ecosystem. From my personal point of veiw, even at country level and regional level, to evaluate the process to Sustainable Forest Management is not easy, we have to full consider the diffrerence of the economic situtation, the social develepment level and the natural situation for the forest growth. That's not easy to evaluate.
2, It is depend on the target, that means what we will use the core C&I to do? It will be operational or just principle for considering!
I like to discuss this topic with the expert from all over the world, as it is very interesting and very meaningful
Keep in touch
With the best
