This book covers NGP’s 10-year journey. In Part A we look at the development of the NGP concept: why this work matters, the principles behind “new generation plantations”, and how the NGP process has evolved. Part B showcases stories of the role plantations are playing around key issues: forest restoration, water stewardship, socio-economic development, climate change and sustainable intense cation. In Part C we look to the future, considering how plantations can contribute to major global agendas such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement, the possibilities of new technologies, and how NGP itself needs to evolve to rise to these challenges.
