Forest and landscape governance are increasingly complex issues. Governance is longer no monopolised by governments, but is an increasingly shared responsibility of civil society groups and private sector actors. Where the role of governments has gradually moved from control to facilitation of policy processes, civil society and private sector actors are currently experimenting with their newly assigned roles as co-developers and implementers of forest and landscape governance.
Moreover, forest and landscape governance are increasingly influenced by global trends related to economic growth, climate change, and the growing concern for global food security, leading to increased pressure on the world's natural resources. Due to these trends, classical forms of forest management are no longer sufficient to deal with competing land claims and resource related conflicts. Instead, there is a growing need for more integrated forms of landscape governance, trying to combine local interests with global demands for food, fuel and fibre, and biodiversity. How to foster inclusive and informed decision-making, within an arena of global interests and local needs?
In this course, you will not gain clear-cut answers or blue prints. But you will gain new understanding on how local and global processes are interlinked, and learn how to position yourself in your role as manager, policy maker or practitioner in the field of forest and landscape governance.
