🌱📢 Forest fibre could provide 500-600 Mt CO2eq in lower emissions, or 25% of the way towards EU's net-zero in 2050. When wood fibre-based alternatives replace fossil-based materials, emissions are reduced. This part of the climate benefits of forests has, unfortunately, often

We also call for a more integrated approach to EU regulation, valuing the climate and circular economy benefits of bio-based materials. We support a revision of the #LULUCF to a regulation with realistic targets, as well as a coherent carbon accounting system that fully.

5) Future EU-policies need to acknowledge #substitution as a key element in climate mitigation and that significantly greater amounts of fossil carbon could be substituted by bio-based material with the right incentives.

4) Managed growing forests absorb more CO2 than unmanaged forests. Harvested products store carbon and forest-based products can be used to replace fossil-intensive materials – also called the substitution effect.

The agenda will focus on how to strengthen Europe’s bioeconomy, as a key strategy to address climate change and promote sustainable economic growth. Providing carbon-neutral alternatives is vital for reducing emissions, with forests and wood-based products playing a major role,.
