In accordance with the Rio +20 conference in June, future policies for sustainablility will be characterised by the necessary transformation of our economic system into a "green economy" and the reinforcement of the institutional framework for sustainable development. Forests and forestry polica fit into these priorities extremely well. An increased but sustainable use of wood in order to chieve ecological and economic aims lies directly on target for a green exonomy. The ban on clearances ot the associated reforestation policies are pionieering institutional measures in forestry policy, and these should be applied to other resources. Swiss sustainablility policy for the next few years has been defined ba the Federal Council in the document "Strategy for sustainable development 2012-2015. This goes in the direction of the efforts named above, but does not make any statement concerning implementation plans in the realm of forestry. Rahter it is the responsibility of forestry policy to put into effect the general strategy as presented.
