Everybody agrees that forests play a key role in combating climate change. The new Forest Strategy is an important piece of the European Commission architecture to deliver on the European Green Deal together with the Fit for 55 package.
How do the European forests and the forest-based sector provide integrated solutions to the climate challenge?
We are pleased to invite you to an open policy discussion on the revamped EU Forest Strategy and Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) regulation.
