The Role of International Organizations in International Forest Governance
Abstract
Today the territory of forests performing vital ecosystem functions is shrinking. International cooperation designed to counteract the loss of forests and promote the restoration of territories is extremely multifaceted. The article examines the role of international organizations in solving environmental problems on forest issues at the international level. A classification of the main intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations specializing in solving problems on forests, including organizations of the United Nations system, expert platforms and certification organizations, has been compiled. Participants in international cooperation of the United Nations system are classified according to the management structure, non-governmental organizations — on the basis of the functions performed.
