There is a need to better understand the increasingly interrelated system of national, regional and international initiatives and institutions that deal with bioenergy governance. Significant effort from various international organisations and partnerships (e.g. European Union, International Energy Agency, Global Bioenergy Partnership, Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels) has been directed in recent years to ensure the sustainability of bioenergy production through criteria and indicators and through the promotion of research on aspects such as the impact on livelihoods, food price as well as energy security. In this context, the paper examines bioenergy‐related conflicts with wide international ramifications from the perspective of the regulatory framework and its relation to global bioenergy governance processes. Special attention is paid to issues of large‐scale bioenergy developments in places like Africa, which are affected by support schemes of developed countries such as those from the European Union to meet targets for renewable energy and particularly biofuel production. The study concludes with the proposal of an overarching framework for the analysis of bioenergy governance, and with suggestions for further research.

The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to their habitats including the local ecological disturbances they face. As the planet enters a phase of human-induced climate change of unprecedented speed and magnitude, however, previously locally-adapted populations are rendered less suitable for new conditions, and ‘natural’ biotic and abiotic disturbances are taken outside their historic distribution, frequency and intensity ranges. Tree populations rely on phenotypic plasticity to survive in extant locations, on genetic adaptation to modify their local phenotypic optimum or on migration to new suitable environmental conditions. The rate of required change, however, may outpace the ability to respond, and tree species and populations may become locally extinct after specific, but as yet unknown and unquantified, tipping points are reached. Here, we review the importance of forest genetic resources as a source of evolutionary potential for adaptation to changes in climate and other ecological factors. We particularly consider climate-related responses in the context of linkages to disturbances such as pests, diseases and fire, and associated feedback loops. The importance of management strategies to conserve evolutionary potential is emphasised and recommendations for policy-makers are provided.
