![]() Such a system is required to monitor progress towards targets and continuously adjust and adapt as new information becomes available. Specifically, there is a lack of a coherent European forest monitoring that ensures updated and consistent information about the state of the forest and ensure consistent and reliable reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from forests.Currently, decision making is hampered because reliable scientific information is missing to device policies that ensure optimal mitigation contributions from forests with acceptable trade-off towards effects on biodiversity and bioeconomy. The EU needs policies that foster synergies and avoid trade-offs such that the forest-based bioeconomy can help mitigate climate change and promote biodiversity (Grassi et al.While there is a lot of scientific information available for decision making on climate change, it is exactly the knowledge on European forests that is falling short: To address this challenge, we need to further our understanding of the changing climate and its implications, close knowledge gaps, and develop tools that support decision makers for mitigation and adaptation actions on various time and spatial scales, and evaluate the societal impact of climate change and the technologies required for the desired climate neutral society.Įuropean forests form a central component in achieving EU and national climate, biodiversity, and economic goals. The overall aim of Europe is to transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society and economy enabled through advanced climate science, pathways and responses to climate change (mitigation and adaptation) and behavioural transformations.
