TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS invites you to join for the second webinar unveiling a new evidence-based synthesis report on Europe’s wood supply in disruptive times. During this session, we will delve into the socioeconomic and policy factors that influence wood supply in Europe.
Background: Forests in Europe are strongly affected by climate change and face many additional challenges, such as political uncertainties and a fragmented forest landscape. A key challenge for Europe is to secure, maintain and enhance the sustainable supply of wood from its forest ecosystems. To address this, a deep understanding of the factors impacting wood supply is needed as well as concrete response measures building on a strong evidence base. Our new synthesis report provides scientific insights and expert knowledge on these issues for all stakeholders of the forest value chain and the wood-based sector.
