Community forestry as a green economy pathway in Cameroon

Agroforestry, as well as its ’parents’ agriculture and forestry, relate to the portfolio of 17 Sustainable Development Goals in multiple ways, as indicated in chapter 17. On-going efforts in Cameroon to breathe new life into the ‘Community-Based Forest Management’ efforts by connecting the policy reform of local forest management more clearly to agroforestry and local business development, can serve as an example of the ways SDG 16 (governance) interacts with SDGs 15 (terrestrial ecosystems, including forests), 12 (responsible production and consumption) and 1 (income).
