在拉各斯举行的一次高级别林业圆桌会议上，与会各方表示，非洲拥有庞大的森林资源，有望在2050年突破30万亿美元的全球生物经济中占据相当大的份额。\n\n他们还呼吁非洲国家更好地掌控本国森林资源，开发国内融资机制并建立本土价值链，以防止环境退化，同时从木材、碳市场、生物多样性及其他森林相关活动中留存更多的财富。\n\n与会各方在关于拟议中的非洲森林信托基金的商业与慈善领袖圆桌会议上发表了上述言论。该会议汇聚了政府官员、商界领袖、学者和发展伙伴，共同探讨非洲森林融资缺口及其对经济发展的影响。\n\n可持续森林管理倡导者组织主席、前副总统Prof. Yemi Osinbajo表示，国际社会对非洲林地日益增长的兴趣应该促使各政府重新评估这一资源的战略和经济重要性。\n\n他列举了津巴布韦、利比里亚、坦桑尼亚和赞比亚等国大规模收购森林产权的现象，作为非洲森林价值不断提升的证据。\n\nOsinbajo表示：当时我脑海中闪过一个问题，为什么所有这些国际公司都在收购林地？……这件事触动了我：林地。我认为，总的来说，我将铭记的核心事情之一就是，林地代表着未来。\n\n他指出，不应再将森林仅仅视为环境资产，而应将其视为能够支持水资源和粮食安全、制药、可持续材料以及其他多个产业的战略经济资源。

Africa's vast forest resources could position the continent to capture a significant share of the global bioeconomy, projected to exceed $30 trillion by 2050, stakeholders at a high-level forestry roundtable in Lagos have said.

They also called on African countries to take greater ownership of their forest resources, develop domestic financing mechanisms and build local value chains to prevent environmental degradation while retaining more of the wealth generated from timber, carbon markets, biodiversity and other forest-based activities.

The stakeholders spoke at a business and philanthropic leaders' roundtable on the proposed African Forestry Trust Fund, which brought together government officials, business leaders, academics and development partners to examine Africa's forest financing gap and its implications for economic development.

Former VicePresident, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who chairs the Sustainable Forest Management Champions initiative, said growing international interest in African forest land should prompt governments to reassess the strategic and economic importance of the resource.

He cited large-scale acquisition of forest rights in countries including Zimbabwe, Liberia, Tanzania and Zambia as evidence of the increasing value attached to Africa's forests.

Osinbajo said, "It struck me, then, why are all these international companies buying up forest land? ... This one struck me: forest land. I think that, generally speaking, one of the key things I would keep in mind is that forest land is the future."

He said forests should no longer be viewed solely as environmental assets but as strategic economic resources capable of supporting water and food security, pharmaceuticals, sustainable materials and several other industries.
