A ThinkForest roundtable discussion was organised in Brussels on 12 October 2016. The event discussed forest biomass sustainability and carbon neutrality based on the results of a new EFI From Science to Policy study and the latest developments within this topic. These are particularly topical issues due to the ongoing process of updating the EU climate and renewable energy policies for the 2020-2030 period.
Attendance was by invitation only.
