Tropical Timber Markets & Value Chains: Lessons Learned and the Path Forward for Responsible Forestry

The session will start with a reflection on various market initiatives that are either in the past or ongoing. Then it will move to a presentation on new potential approaches that might be of value. Each of these presentations will set the stage for a facilitated discussion with participants to gain from their experience and observations. Prior to the session potential participants will receive by email a short 5–7-page discussion paper written to provide background for the session.
