Discussion Forum at the Global Landscapes Forum 2015, in Paris, France alongside COP21. Fuel wood is and will remain an important pillar within the energy mix in Sub-Sahara Africa and constitutes a huge potential for the economy at all scales. Its link to food and nutrition security is critical: 50% of forest degradation and 10–20% of forest destruction in the region is caused by wood energy exploitation contributing to land degradation and desertification. This session discusses the potential of afforestation and agroforestry for wood-energy production to help landscape restoration efforts.
