Sustainable Carbon Cycles: What role for forests?

You are invited to the Wood Be Better hybrid event on 1 June at 10.30-12.00 CET. The discussion will focus on the European Commissions Communication on Sustainable Carbon Cycles and the forthcoming regulatory framework for the certification of carbon removals. How can we ensure that carbon removal schemes do not divert action from reducing fossil emissions - the number one priority in mitigating climate change? Join us at the Renaissance Brussels Hotel or via link.

Europe stands united in solidarity with Ukraine

The Swedish Forest Industries Federation continue to strongly condemn the unjustified Russian attack on Ukraine. We follow with despair the humanitarian crisis and our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people.

A more circular economy (SPI)

Products that are more sustainable and that can be reused and repaired are good for the environment, the climate and consumers. The EU’s Sustainable Product Initiative (SPI) seeks to increase the circularity in society. However, several key aspects, such as the importance of renewable raw materials, risk being overlooked.

Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)

Reducing fossil emissions should be rewarded. Forerunners that use sustainable biofuels in their production should also be included in a revised EU ETS. The EU ETS is a market for carbon and a system to trade emissions. If the EU unilaterally imposes a cost on carbon, there is a risk that production will move to countries with less ambitious climate targets, so-called carbon leakage. To reduce that risk, industries are given free allocation of emission rights, which are based on product benchmarks.
