GEOG 106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Afforestation, Sustainable Forest Management, Millennium Development Goals
Document Summary
The millennium development goals (mdg) established by world leaders in 2000, committed countries to a global partnership to reduce extreme poverty through a series of targets with a deadline of 2015. Sustainable development goals (sdg) started in 2012 to address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Sdg provides an opportunity to recognize the role of forests in sustainable development. Understand what we mean by socioeconomic benefits (and again, do keep in mind the concept of human security and how it relates to the discussion in this document) Read box 1, too, and the summary assessment, which begins on page 13. You do not need to absorb any of the details regarding measurement of benefits. Do keep in mind the proposed definition of the socioeconomic benefits from forests. To measure socioeconomic benefits from forests, data collection must focus on people not only trees.
