Thursday, September 08 , 2022 4590

Оn 25th of August the the European Commission has launched a public consultation initiative "EU forests - new EU Framework for Forest
Monitoring and Strategic Plans".

The aim of the initiative is to develop an EU-wide forest observation framework to provide open access to detailed, accurate, regular and timely information on the condition and management of EU forests, and on the many products and ecosystem services that forests provide.
This information will lead to more data-driven decision-making on forests. It is expected to increase public trust in forest management, reduce illegal logging, incentivise and reward more sustainable forest management, and support the adaptation of forests to climate change.
The Consultation period has started at 25 August 2022 and will end on 17 November 2022.

The questionnaire is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13396-EU-forests-new-EU-Framework-for-Forest-Monitoring-and-Strategic-Plans_en;
