The circular bioeconomy offers solutions to curb the effects of climate change by focusing on use renewable, biological resources produce food, energy, materials, and services. substitution fossil products wood-based can help avoid or reduce greenhouse gas emissions over life cycle products. However, it is important understand potential impacts large-scale material at market level. This study aimed assess role selected in bioeconomy, possible changes their markets, investigate which elements...
Summary Illegal logging and illegal timber trade is a global problem. Anatomical, genetic, chemical techniques support legislation by verifying the species geographic origin of timber. In principle, these methods can be used to identify harvest, however, availability specific tests for important unclear. We review status top 322 priority taxa. Our results show that identification, reference data exist 100% taxa using wood anatomy, 86% genetics, 41% DART TOFMS, 6% NIRS. For 24% taxa, with...
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) aims to achieve its purpose by working across multiple sectors involving multilevel actors in reducing deforestation forest degradation tropical countries. By contrast, the European Union (EU) Action Plan on Law Enforcement, Governance Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) focus forestry functions at a bilateral state level. The FLEGT specifically tackle illegal logging improve governance countries exporting...
Sustainable forest management (SFM) is a concept that guides and policy globally. Over the past decades, two prominent regimes have emerged at global level can strengthen SFM: The European Union’s Action Plan on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance, Trade (FLEGT) United Nations’ mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation degradation in developing countries, role of conservation, sustainable forests enhancement carbon stocks countries (REDD+). However, understanding how FLEGT REDD+...
The Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have directed increased political attention to forests their sustainable management globally. Forest concessions are a predominant instrument for the of public production natural in tropics, but relationship between SDGs forest is poorly explored. Knowledge this could facilitate aligning tropical concession regimes with SDGs. This research was conducted by means an online survey, expert interviews four regional stakeholder...
Major wood-importing markets, such as the European Union, United States of America, and China, have set regulations in place requiring operators to only sell wood-based goods that are sourced processed accordance with local laws. Customs, CITES or other official trade documentation require accurately state geographic origin, tree species, some cases, age a product. However, it frequently happens these consciously unknowingly misreported. Various wood identification technologies can be used...

This paper addresses knowledge gaps related to implementation of corporate zero deforestation commitments (ZDCs). Drawing on an analytical framework organizational change, we scrutinize changes and processes internal a company in adjusting supply chains. The empirical data consists 48 online questionnaires 49 interviews with actors involved forest-risk commodity (FRC) chains, both companies external (e.g., NGOs). Concerning changes, findings show that diverse drivers have triggered adopt...
