After launching the Research Insights Series in October 2025 and publishing the first issue on forests and wood products in Europe’s decarbonization strategy, Teaming Up 4 Forests presents two more issues:
- Research Issue 02
Europe’s wood supply in disruptive times: Climate impacts, fragmented policies, and shifting market conditions require coordinated responses rooted in science, supported by policy, and led by industry. This issue summarizes key findings from the TU4F study ‘Wood Supply in Disruptive Times’ and presents actions and recommendations for stakeholders. - Research Issue 03
Initial discussion on balancing biodiversity and wood production: This issue presents conclusions from a TU4F Think Tank meeting which brought together senior voices from science, industry, and policy to identify solutions that balance biodiversity protection and sustainable wood production. It addresses questions such as how to strengthen forest resilience, reward sustainable practices, and build public trust.
The value of the Research Insights series lies in its relevance to multiple stakeholders:
- For industry leaders, these insights highlight emerging risks and opportunities: for example, how climate change and policy shifts can threaten fibre supply and increase regulatory pressure, and why proactive innovation and collaboration are essential for long-term competitiveness.
- For the scientific community, the series shines a light on knowledge gaps and translates complex research into actionable ideas, ensuring that science is geared toward real-world impact.
- For policymakers, the RI issues provide evidence to support coherent policies, from aligning climate and forest strategies to integrating biodiversity safeguards, thereby helping craft policies that are grounded in the latest science and practical stakeholder insights.
By building bridges between science, policy, and industry, TU4F’s Research Insights serve as a catalyst for informed decision-making and collaborative action.
