This paper introduces and briefly analyses developments and state of affairs in Finland’s forest and environmental policies and the ways the new emphasis on ecosystem services is so far documented in the strategies and policies related to forests and environment. Some attention is given to international and domestic reasons in this development, including a recent downturn of pulp and paper industries. The international changes from the ”narrow ” biodiversity focus to broader ecosystem services approach are already being taken into account in prospecting Finland’s environmental policies. Comparing to the earlier “environmental turn” in forestry, one may call this as an ongoing “socio-economic turn” in biodiversity based environmental policies in Finland. Ecosystem goods and services will also play important roles in the larger economic, ecological and social frames called as ‘green economy’, ‘green growth’ and ‘bioeconomy’, outlined in some strategic reports. All these reasons, backed by the longer term or more recent development towards multiple-use, environmentally benign forestry and integrated natural resource management, may facilitate an active adaptation towards ecosystem goods and services framework in Finland’s forestry. Consequently, an increased convergence and improved integration of forest and environmental policies within ecosystem services and other supporting frameworks, may result in policy changes which can be called as paradigmatic. Yet this preliminary conclusion requires better evidence and more detailed analysis – and the process itself more time to be consolidated. 000199311 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000199311 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000199311 650__ $$aLand Economics/Use 000199311 6531_ $$aBiodiversity 000199311 6531_ $$aforestry 000199311 6531_ $$aenvironment 000199311 6531_ $$aword 000199311 6531_ $$aothers 000199311 700__ $$aSaastamoinen, Olli 000199311 773__ $$q140$$o147 000199311 773__ $$tScandinavian Forest Economics: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Scandinavian Society of Forest Economics 000199311 773__ $$j2012$$k44$$dMay 23-26, 2012 000199311 8564_ $$9ec26a1ae-d53b-423c-9275-57c64dcc9124$$s130705$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/199311/files/Pages%20from%20Scandinavian_12-14.pdf 000199311 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/199311 000199311 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:199311$$pGLOBAL_SET 000199311 912__ $$nSubmitted by Mallory Pagel (pagel107@umn.edu) on 2015-03-06T18:48:42Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Pages from Scandinavian_12-14.pdf: 130705 bytes, checksum: 8dc5089a62402e685f3f73e26db56855 (MD5) 000199311 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-03-06T18:48:42Z (GMT).
