Making forest concessions in the tropics work to achieve the 2030 Agenda : voluntary guidelines

These Voluntary Guidelines promote the sustainable management of public production natural forests in tropical countries through forest concessions, thereby fulfilling their potential contribution to the achievement of Agenda 2030.

The current Guidelines show that forest concessions are an effective economic instrument of forest policy in the context of the 2030 Agenda, transforming them into an instrument capable of delivering sustainable forest management in all its dimensions, and generating socio-economic benefits to relevant stakeholders.
