The journal Forest is calling for contributions for a Special Issue (ISSN 1999-4907). The focus of this Special Issue will be on innovative frameworks supporting decision-making processes through integrated ecosystem services assessments and sustainable finance principles. The deadline for manuscript submissions is 31 October 2023.
Background:
The 15th Conference of the Parties (COP-15) was held in Montreal in December 2022 to discuss and prepare technical/operational guidelines and directives against biodiversity loss globally, with particular attention to urban environments.
