Current issues within forest and climate

Here you can find the issues that are currently being discussed in the EU within forest and climate, and Swedish Forest Industries opinions.

Carbon removals in the forest-based industry can be incentivized without loosing focus on the core issue – removing all fossil emissions.

EU action is needed to safeguard the world’s forests. We fully support the aim to tackle global deforestation and forest degradation.

One key question is how to combine the objectives of this proposal with the need to transform our society in the face of climate change.

Reducing fossil emissions should be rewarded. Forerunners that use sustainable biofuels should also be included in a revised EU ETS.

A thriving forest industry is essential for reaching the EU climate targets. It should be encouraged, not constrained.

Sharpening the targets of LULUCF is a well-meaning effort meant to benefit the climate, but it might do the opposite.

Put the forest owners at the core of the Strategy and work with them in further developing sustainable forest management.
