Public consultation on the EU Forest Strategy Roadmap – EEB contribution

In this document, the EEB provides comments on the upcoming EU Forest Strategy with its objectives of forest preservation, restoration and biodiversity friendly afforestation.

The European Commission should use its powers to adopt an EU Forest Strategy that builds upon and directly contributes to the implementation of the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the wider European Green Deal ambition. The targets and commitments of the strategy must be clear, measurable and lead to timely improvements given the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crisis.
