Sustainable forest management in Europe

Sustainable forest management in Europe plays a central role in reaching the EU climate change targets and strengthening the EU bioeconomy strategy.

Forests produce an impressive number of essential products and services for society, they are a major source of carbon storage in the context of climate change, and they are home to a great deal of biodiversity.  However, these benefits are not free of charge, they are heavily dependent on a competitive and economically viable forest sector in Europe.
