Policy Paper: Fairly Trading the World's Timber .jpg)
Reducing timber loss through responsible management of the world’s forest stock has the power to reduce poverty, conflict, and greenhouse gases. This policy paper details efforts to date and provides comprehensive proposals for much needed action.
In Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer illustrates a historic shift in the international system and the world economy—and an unprecedented moment of global uncertainty.
On Tim Hetherington

Tim Hetherington, an acclaimed photojournalist and World Policy Journal contributor, has died while covering the conflict in Libya.
Hetherington was killed during a mortar attack in the Libyan town of Misrata, where forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi are fighting rebels. Reports indicate that two other photographers, Chris Hondros and Guy Martin, were gravely injured. A fourth photographer, Michael Christopher Brown, was also wounded.
Hetherington's last entry on Twitter, published on April 19, read: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
Hetherington was no stranger to conflict zones. The Spring 2011 issue of World Policy Journal featured his photo-essay "Into the Korengal," which chronicled the intensely fraught interactions between American soldiers and Afghan villagers in the remote Korengal Valley -- interactions shaped by the constant violence of war.
Hetherington was a gifted journalist. We extend our most sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
