| dc.description | The issues of wood energy (WE) development encompass all major sectors of development. Forestry related issues impinge upon WE resources, WE production and distribution (or flows), and WE utilization/conservation, may also affect alternative development directly or indirectly. The issues may be complex, may need inter-sectoral cooperation and coordination. Cross-sectoral issues may be best addressed by integration in national development policy and legislation. Sectoral policy and by-laws have t o incorporate the issues of national development priority. Forestry alone should not be viewed as the sector having the sole responsibility of WE development. The issues related to non-forest land based production and optimal utilization of residues and by-products of wood-based industries deserve the attention also in the agriculture, industry sectors, not to mention the role of rural development sector in meeting the problem of sustainable energy supply in rural area. And all these issues shou ld be fully understood analyzed and by the energy sector and assist the responsible sectors with provision of integrated energy development policy in order to recognize and support integrated WE development. Resolution of the legal issues in the forestry sector alone will not overcome the problem of WE development, instead it may further convey the wrong message that this sector is de facto responsible for WE development in totality. | |
