Lessons on social inclusion for transformative forest-based bioeconomy solutions
Key messages
- The transformational potential of bioeconomy solutions to advance environmental sustainability rests on whether they can deploy strategies for social sustainability.
- Bioeconomy can learn important lessons on social inclusion from previous research on redistribution, recognition, and representation concerns in forest-based climate initiatives.
- Initiatives should recognize Indigenous Peoples and local communities as right-holders in their design and implementation.
- They should ensure that enabling conditions are in place for women, youth and Indigenous Peoples and local communities to participate effectively throughout an initiative’s lifetime.
- Initiatives should also provide mechanisms to promote a just and fair distribution of costs and benefits between stakeholders.
