INTERGOVERNMENTAL WORKING GROUP ON FORESTS (IWGF) REPORT

APPROACHES TO MOBILISING ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND TECHNOLOGIES

Introduction

UNCED recognised that new and additional financial resources and the transfer of environmentally sound technologies are two of the most important means to facilitate the successful implementation of forestry programmes under the relevant chapters in Agenda 21. UNCED further recognised that, in general, this financing will come from a country's own public and private sectors. Access to technology should be improved through supportive measures promoting cooperation, and through effective capacity-building in the developing countries.
