Forest Sector Socioeconomic Impact Model for Northern Ontario Communities by A. A. Kubursi,Steven Spencer,Asghedom Ghebremichael,Great Lakes Forestry Centre,Northern Forestry Program (Canada) Pdf

Begins with a literature review on community economic development in general and on forestry-dependent communities. The literature is reviewed in the following terms: the financial market, traditional and non-traditional strategies for development, resource-dependent communities, and government roles and policies in economic development. The review is organised into topics including the role of entrepreneurship, urban community development in Canada, and local industrial development. The next sections examine selected measures of sustainable forestry and community development, and factors involved in northern Ontario community development. Finally, an input-output analytic model is presented for assessing impact on a community of expenditures on investment projects and other activities at the local and provincial level. The analysis is illustrated for a hypothetical case where the output of pulp and paper operations in Kapuskasing, Ontario is valued at 150 million. Economic impact results are supplemented by discussion of some general socio-economic indicators produced by the model.

Development Perspectives on and a Decision Support System for Aboriginal Community-based Economies by A. Ghebremichael,A. A. Kubursi,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada) Pdf

This paper highlights the main challenges in fostering sustainable development of Aboriginal community-based economies. It discusses the challenges associated with harmonizing the Aboriginal economy and the modern Canadian economy, and presents a theoretical analysis of free trade between a large, advanced, well-connected modern economy and a small, poor, disarticulated economy. It then profiles the socio-economic characteristics of the Moose Cree First Nation in northern Ontario and describes a decision support system developed for that community. The system is used to determine whether it would be appropriate to develop a forest management unit within the traditional territory of the First Nation. The report presents results of using the system to evaluate the socio-economic impacts of a proposed timber harvesting operation under two scenarios. The theoretical insights & quantitative results from this case study are used to make suggestions about approaches to fostering sustainable development within Aboriginal community-based economies.

Socioeconomic Impacts and Adaptive Responses to Climate Change by Grant Hauer,T. B. Williamson,Miriam Renner,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada) Pdf

The purpose of social science analysis of climate change is to assist policy makers in understanding the expected flows of benefits and costs of policy options over time and to improve our understanding of the human dimensions of the climate change issue. This report deals with socioeconomic criteria for assessment and with the development of methods and approaches for obtaining a better understanding of the socioeconomic impacts and adaptive responses to climate change in Canada's forest sector. Policy makers responding to the climate change issue must deal with many complex issues and unique circumstances. These issues and circumstances also have a bearing on methodologies for undertaking analysis of the future impacts of climate change. Climate change and the effects of climate change on human society spans multiple scales, which leads to the need to consider feedback's and interactions between environmental and human systems, between political systems and between different parts or segments of economies. The implications are that dynamic general or partial equilibrium models integrated with ecosystem response models will be required in order to understand the implications of climate change for land use change, future ecosystem distributions and the supply of timber from Canada's forests. In addition to affecting future timber supply and future commercial forest areas, climate change will influence the benefits Canadians receive from non-market benefits such as outdoor recreation. Currently there is limited analysis of the effects of climate change on non-market values and this area requires more work. Another factor influencing climate change analysis is that the issue spans unusually long time frames for policy analysis and economic analysis. This raises questions about suitable discount rates and accounting for social welfare of future generations. Finally, there is significant uncertainty in long term predictions of climate change and in how the integrated human/biological system will respond over time. Decision analysis, safe minimum standards, precautionary principles and maximin criterion provide some way to incorporate uncertainty into decision making. In terms of integrated assessment models, systematic consideration for the diversity of opinions and results from scientific studies regarding future climate and ecosystems shifts is required.

Sectoral Task Force Report by Ontario Round Table on Environment and Economy. Forestry Sectoral Task Force Pdf

This report represents the views of the members of the task force on ways that government, non-government organizations, and private industry can best promote a healthy environment and economic development within the forestry sector. In addressing the issues, the Task Force met 18 times, reviewed relevant reference material, debated background papers prepared by members, heard presentations from invited speakers, and conducted four public meetings. This document discusses the changes in place and underway and the directions for change in aboriginal issues, biological diversity, decision-making and institutional change, global climate change, harvesting methods, pest management, private land forests, protected areas, pulp and paper industrial effluent, solid waste management, worker protection and involvement, and the economics of both timber for the industry and non-timber forest values.

Community Forestry in Canada by Sara Teitelbaum Pdf

This book brings together the work of over twenty-five researchers to provide a comparative and empirically rich portrait of community forestry policy and practice in Canada. Tackling all forestry regions from Newfoundland to British Columbia, it unearths the history of community forestry across the nation, demonstrating strong regional differences tied to patterns of policy-making and cultural traditions. Case studies reveal innovative practices in governance and ecological management but also uncover challenges related to government support and market access. This book also considers the future of the sector, including the role of institutional reform, multiscale networks, and adaptive management strategies.
