After the parliament has passed a resolution on the forest strategy recommending to ensure that forests can continue to play a multifunctional role.
The Intergroup started to reflect on the main issues and objectives of the strategy already in October 2020. Already at that time, several key elements were mentioned as the need to foster the socio-economic dimension of forestry, the active role of forest managers to maintain forest ecosystems and the need to reward their stewardship.
Now the strategy has been unveiled, it is time to follow up. The Agriculture Ministers adopted recently their conclusions and stressed there must be a “balanced vision on the different dimensions of sustainability,” they emphasized the need to strengthen the socio-economic goals & clearly define the “newly introduced concepts & terms”.
The Webinar intends to continue this discussion and find out how to support further the multifunctional role of European forests.
We will try to identify the current assets and flaws of the strategy. How to build a balanced policy that takes into account all the realities around forest management?
