Volume 79, Number 1 Friday, 7 February 2003 A SUMMARY REPORT ON TRADE AND SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT: IMPACTS AND INTERACTIONS ON-LINE AT HTTP://WWW.IISD.CA/SD/TSFM/ SUMMARY OF THE FAO EXPERT CONSULTATION ON TRADE AND SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT: IMPACTS AND INTERACTIONS 3-5 FEBRUARY 2003 The Expert Consultation on Trade and Sustainable Forest Management: Impacts and Interactions convened at the headquarters of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome, Italy from 3-5 February 2003. Bringing together 73 participants from 26 countries, representing government, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector, the Expert Consultation provided a forum to debate how current developments in trade policies and market development affect the sustainability of forest management, and how sustainable forest management (SFM) is changing trade patterns and market share. The Expert Consultation meeting constitutes one of the activities within the FAO’s international project on the Impact Assessment of Forest Products Trade in the Promotion of Sustainable Forest Management. The project is financed by the Japanese government. FAO will publish the results of this process and will convene a second expert consultation meeting later this year which will include trade policymakers and trade specialists involved in debates on a new International Tropical Timber Agreement (ITTA), the implementation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Declaration, regional trade agreements and national trade policy making. REPORT OF THE EXPERT CONSULTATION Participants at the expert consultation met in a Plenary session on Monday, 3 February, to hear presentations on trade and forest management, global trends in trade of forest products and services, public policies and initiatives; trade agreements and restrictions, governance and trade in forest products and services, cross-sectoral policy impacts and new markets for environmental services. On Tuesday, 4 February, participants debated the issues in four working groups: trade measures and policies; trade, finance and industrial structure; governance and trade; and extra-sectoral influences and the environment. A closing Plenary session was held on Wednesday, 5 February, to hear the results of the working groups’ debates and comments on the draft Co-Chairs’ Summary Report of the meeting. The following report summarizes the meeting’s deliberations.
