Forest-Based Solutions for a Sustainable Future: The Role of Timber and Bamboo in Climate Mitigation and Rural Development

Jian Liu

Forests provide an array of ecological, economic, and social
benefits, and among their most valuable outputs are timber and
bamboo-renewable forest products that serve as vital raw
materials for construction, furniture, paper, textiles, and energy.
Effective management of timber and bamboo resources is crucial
for not only maintaining supply chains but also for preserving
biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and supporting
livelihoods, particularly in rural and forest-dependent
communities.
