Policy Brief 3
This Policy Brief sets out four policy pathways which can support our forests to provide the goods and services society demands.
Europe’s forests provide multiple forest ecosystem services (FES) including wood, carbon sequestration, habitats, and nature for recreation. Matching the variety of societal and political demands for FES with their supply is one of the main tasks for forest policy making in Europe, and the EU Green Deal provides strong momentum for policies to incentivise the provision of multiple FES.
