Abstract

"Trees, Forests and People publishes peer-reviewed papers across this full domain of tree- and forest-related science and practice"--Description, viewed July 22, 2021. "Trees and forests are at the heart of many of the most important issues of the 21st century, ranging from the survival of long-lived trees to the livelihoods of people who depend on sustained use of forest resources. The domain of Trees, Forests and People encompasses studies that examine important details about specialized topics, and broader efforts that integrate these topics to address issues of complex social-ecological systems. The Journal's focus includes trees and forests in any setting, from trees found within urban landscapes or agroforestry fields to those found in forest plantations and landscapes. The present and future state of forests is intimately tied to human factors: people strongly influence most of the world's forests today, and these forests provide for the needs of people around the globe"--Introduction, viewed July 22, 2021.

Abstract

There is a growing recognition that rapid action in response to climate change is urgently necessary, and that many of the responsibilities for this action (e.g., relating to transport, land-use planning and economic development) rest at the local level. This is attested to by the growing number of local authorities that have declared climate emergencies across the globe. Responding to this emergency will require significant changes in the assumptions, expectations, priorities and procedures of locally elected representatives and government officials. This Special Issue will explore the responses of local government, as a key locus of sustainability governance, to the need for rapid climate action, drawing on examples from diverse locations (UK, western Europe, Chile and South Africa) and at various scales (from the smallest local areas, to city regions, counties and provinces).
