"Trade instruments are increasingly being used successfully to promote the legality\r\nand sustainability of timber production in the tropics and around the world. However,\r\nthe importance of local consumption and trade of timber for achieving the goals of\r\nsustainable development is only recently being recognized in the policy arena. International agreements regarding timber and carbon trading, such as the European\r\nUnion’s Action Plan on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and\r\nReducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), will have an\r\nimpact on local timber production and vice versa. To date, little was known about the\r\nextent of local timber trade in tropical timber producing countries, but information\r\nfrom this ETFRN News shows that local timber production is significant, with profound\r\nimpacts on forest resources and local livelihoods. This emphasizes the need to address the informal and local timber sector adequately within these agreements, in order for them to meaningfully contribute to more sustainable forest management and equitable socioeconomic development.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"ETFRN NEWS Issue no 52 - December 2010"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\ndd
