European Green Deal: Commission proposes new strategy to protect and restore EU forests

The European Commission has adopted the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030, a flagship initiative of the European Green Deal that builds on the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. The Strategy sets a vision and concrete actions for increasing the quantity and quality of forests in the EU and strengthening their protection, restoration and resilience. By addressing social, economic and environmental aspects all together, the Forest Strategy aims to ensure the multi-functionality of EU forests and highlights the pivotal role played by foresters. It is accompanied by a Roadmap for planting three billion additional trees across Europe by 2030 in full respect of ecological principles – the right tree in the right place for the right purpose.

 
Delivering the European Green Deal

The European Commission has adopted a package of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. Achieving these emission reductions in the next decade is crucial to Europe becoming the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and making the European Green Deal a reality. With these proposals, the Commission is presenting the tools to deliver on the targets agreed in the European Climate Law and transform our economy and society for a fair, green and prosperous future.
