New challenges
• European forests still face several threats:
• Effects of climate change (climate variability)
• Increasing pressure on resources
• Competition among uses such as wood energy,
timber production, biodiversity and carbon
storage
3. FOREST EUROPE
SFM
• In the last 20 years SFM has proven to be successful in
addressing the challenges through the promotion of a
balanced approach to forest uses that is capable of supporting
environmental, economic and social functions
• The current challenges makes SFM even a more crucial tool to
maintain healthy , diverse and productive forests.
6. FOREST EUROPE
Our Vision
To shape a future where all European forests are vital,
productive and multifunctional.
Where forests contribute effectively to sustainable
development, through ensuring human well-being a healthy
environment and economic development in Europe and across
the globe.
Where the forests’ unique potential to support a green economy,
livehoods, climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation,
enhancing water quality and combating desertification is realized
to the benefit of society.
7. FOREST EUROPE
Our Mission
To advance this vision and comply with the goals and European
2020 targets, ministers decided that “FOREST EUROPE mission
is to enhance the cooperation on forest policies in Europe
under the leadership of ministers, and to secure and promote
Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) with the aim of
maintaining the multiple functions of forests crucial to society”.

halved. Fragmentation and degradation are treated
7.
The role of forests in combating desertification is fully recognised
8. All European countries ensure a significant increase in socioeconomic and cultural benefits
9. Effective measures are taken to eliminate illegal logging and
associated trade
