This issue of ETFRN News brings together 35 expert articles on financing SFM. It includes current initiatives in policy development and implementation at the international, national and local levels, the views and experiences of experts involved in financing SFM and some specific field cases. The articles have been organized into six sections: 1. Multilateral conventions, agreements and organizations; 2. International non-government organizations; 3. Governance, institutions and financing; 4. Forest investment and capital markets; 5. Payment for forest goods and services; and 6. Forests, climate change and energy. Together they constitute a comprehensive overview on how forest financing is dealt within intergovernmental forest-related conventions and policy processes, in countries, private organisations and NGOs. The focus is on lessons, complementarities and synergies. This issue of ETFRN News is meant for a broad range of policy-makers and practitioners involved in financing of SFM, and as context and inspiration for the ongoing discussions on forest financing in various intergovernmental and national processes.
