2007年成立了一个国际专家小组，评估气候变化对森林和依赖森林的人的影响，以及有效适应气候变化的管理和政策选择。本文总结了评估的主要发现，也揭示了当前知识的严重局限性。需要进行更多的研究，特别是在气候变化对森林的社会和经济影响方面。尽管目前的知识有限，但气候变化进展太快，不能在未来的研究结果出来之前推迟行动。评估确认，与可持续森林管理相关的做法可能有助于减少未来各种潜在气候条件下的环境、社会和经济脆弱性。
Abstract An international Expert Panel was established in 2007 to undertake an assessment of the impacts of climate change on forests and forest-dependent people as well as on management and policy options for effective adaptation to climate change. This paper summarizes the main findings of the assessment, which has also revealed severe limitations in current knowledge. Much more research is needed, especially on the forest-related social and economic impacts of climate change. Despite the limitations of current knowledge, climate change is progressing too quickly to postpone actions pending the outcomes of future studies. The assessment confirms that the practices associated with sustainable forest management are likely to help reduce environmental, social and economic vulnerabilities under a wide range of potential future climatic conditions.
