You are warmly invited to join the 3rd webinar of the series on wood supply hosted by TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS, a science-business platform initiated by International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and Mondi. In this webinar series, the focus is on the critical topic of Europe’s wood supply in disruptive times. In the upcoming session, new technological developments and market trends of emerging wood-based products will be discussed together with invited experts.

 

Background

Forests in Europe are strongly affected by climate change and face many additional challenges, such as political uncertainties and a fragmented forest landscape. A key challenge for Europe is to secure, maintain and enhance the sustainable supply of wood from its forest ecosystems. To address this, a deep understanding of the factors impacting wood supply is needed as well as concrete response measures building on a strong evidence base. Our new synthesis report provides scientific insights and expert knowledge on these issues for all stakeholders of the forest value chain and the wood-based sector.
