TY - GEN AU - López, Ramón TI - Policy Instruments and Financing Mechanisms for the Sustainable Use of Forests in Latin America PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/07/21 DO - 10.18235/0011605 AB - The objectives of this paper are two-fold: to analyze the role of international and domestic policies on the sustainable use of forests in Latin America; and to examine potential financing mechanisms to promote sustainable forest development and a more efficient wood processing industry. The paper examines the role of a more intensive exploitation of natural forests as a mechanism to promote the national interest as opposed to the global interest in Latin America. It also also analyzes the potential for cooperation to allocate land in a globally optimal way, and mechanisms to finance such cooperation. UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0011605 ER -
