Description
Summary:The forest-dependent communities in a Canadian context have been studied for several decades. However, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Canada's so-called "forest-dependent" communities became the focus of several studies in the context of the implementation of sustainable development and the criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management. Despite a recognition that community-forest relationships are multi-dimensional, the criteria and indicators deployed in Canada to measure the achievement of sustainability goals by forest-dependent communities have been predominantly linked to forest industry economics. This economic emphasis is particularly problematic in the context of climate change, as it affects communities across a broader set of values. This article highlights the need to revise the criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management from the perspective of climate change adaptation. The approach is driven by a dual objective: to ensure better monitoring of communities and to identify synergies between sustainable forest management and climate change adaptation.
