The overarching contribution of this book is a review and
assessment of the current and future impacts of globalization on
the world's forests. The work has been developed by the "Resources
for the Future" Task Force for the International Union of Forest
Research Organizations (IUFRO). Four key themes are addressed: the
effect of globalization on forests (including future trade flows);
plantations as the primary source of forest products and its
consequences, including plant breeding and forest health; the
effect of new products such as bio-products and markets on forests;
and the emergence of forest ecosystem services and their impact on
the landscape and human communities. These four themes are examined
in detail to map out the impacts of these trends for forests
throughout the world and at multiple scales, and how forest
research needs to be adapted to address these trends. Overall, the
volume provides a major synthesis of current thinking and knowledge
on the topic for advanced students, as well as policy-makers and
professionals in the forest sector.

This book provides insight on the concept of social value and
social return on investment (SROI) - or measures to evaluate the
social outcomes from interventions, beyond simply jobs and income.
It offers a new and holistic perspective on the values generated
from environmental stewardship and forest governance, and focuses
on the methods, approaches and outcomes for understanding social
value and SROI. The book offers new directions in social value and
SROI, including cultural and spiritual outcomes, gender equity, and
health and well-being, and provides pathways for implementing
interventions and measuring social impact. It includes state of the
art approaches from diverse and interdisciplinary experts drawn
from academia and professional practice, including the voices and
perspectives of Indigenous Peoples and local communities involved
in programs, with a focus on environmental stewardship. Social
value and SROI are increasingly used to assess outcomes from
conservation and this book broadens the conversation on the impact
and business case for these interventions. The book offers
practical guidance to readers in pursuing social value and those
seeking to measure it.
