New Positioning of Forest in Green Development

In the 20 years after the UN Environment and Development Conference in 1992, the essential issues in relation to sustainable development have been unsolved. The upcoming "Rio+20" conference put the focus on the shift towards green development.

It was pointed out in the paper that forest is the foundation of socioeconomic develpomet and constitutes basic wealth, basic welfare and basic security of the whole community under the green development context. Nevertheless, it is a must to aggressively invest and develop green economy. It was also proposed to set up forestry development organizations, investment mechanisms, policy system and research & eduction system compatible with green development. Moreover, some forestry polices that should be revised was combed.
