Forests hold a significant share of biodiversity in the EU. The resistance, resilience, adaptation, and biodiversity of Europe’s forests are linked to our ability to thrive in a changing climate. However, forests are under pressure by inadequate management practices and current and future climate changes. Their protection, restoration, and adapted management (such as close-to-nature forestry) is essential.

This research has pulled together some of the latest scientific evidence to show how biodiversity, the bioeconomy and climate change mitigation are vitally underpinned by Europe’s forests.
