Resumen
Descripción
Education is being recognized as a key means to build and influence the knowledge, skills and values of citizens to support sustainable development as well as skills for work life, ensuring decent work and entrepreneurship as well as a pro green-development mental mindset. Private sector, as an important forestry stakeholder, has been taking steps to ensure that they exclude unsustainable and illegal wood from their supply chains.
Many companies recognise the increasing need to understand and manage the environmental and social impacts embedded in their operations, supply chains and investments. They are taking on commitments and developing corresponding policies. Increasingly, industry associations strongly encourage, and sometimes require, their members to exclude unsustainable and/or illegal wood from their supply chains through members’ codes of conduct, industry statements, or associations’ own purchasing policies.
Education plays pivotal roles in fulfilling forestry private sector’s needs to ensure improving performance and the availability of their legal and sustainable products in a changing marketplace through building the capacity of their actors and employees. Likewise, the forestry private sector provides platforms for obtaining and disseminating information, knowledge, education, research and experiences of education activities and actors.
The Breakout Group on Private Sector is aimed at: i) learning on the increasing roles of private sector to respond to current challenges in forestry education; ii) identifying gaps and needs of forestry education to enhance the governance of forestry private sector in ensuring the implementation of SFM; iii) confirming valid education formats and contents required by the private sector in current digital work life.
