Backcasting... (i.e. ”what do we want?”)

Creating the desired future outcomes
Desired future outcomes expressed as indicators
(qualitative and quantitative) relevant for
the area/country
Present Future
How can we achieve the desired future goals and outcomes?
- Some of our current policies and actions could get us there
- Need to account for long-term trends and surprises
- New policies could be adopted to get us to the desired future
Desired future goals based on the MEAS

Our current focus
Creating the desired future outcomes
Desired future outcomes •Decrease the monoculture forestry by 30%•Maintain high and stable timber supply (mil m3 of wood)•Achieve at least 80% of current economic returns from forest sector
Present Future
How can we achieve the desired future outcomes? For example:
- Current economic diversification policy could be used to explore new types of products (from different species)
- Revising species and planting guidelines to include native tree species
- Setting quotas for species composition
- Estimate how the revenues are sensitive to changes in wood prices and new construction demands (what if questions)

Examples of policy types
• Economic Instruments• Tradable permits• Deposit refund• Performance bonds• Taxes• Earmark taxes and funds• User fees• Subsidies• Administered prices
• Direct Expenditures• Programs and projects• Green procurement• Research and development• Moral suasion
• Regulatory– Legislative instruments– Enforcement activities– Liability– Competition and
deregulation policy
• Institutional– Internal education– Internal policies and
procedures

Creating a Policy Map – Example
Policy Analysis Questions
• Is the current portfolio of policies directed at the MEA sufficient to achieve the desired long-term outcome target?
• What are the leverage points (D, P, S, I) and are effective policies being directed at these leverage points?
• Is a mix of instruments being used (economic, regulatory, expenditure, institutional)?
Breakout Group Exercise #4 [45 min]Policy-mapping
• Task #1: Create a policy map for your MEA using the template provided
• Task #2: Analyse the policy map by addressing the three policy analysis questions (previous slide)
• Task 3: Make recommendations to address the policy gaps
