Setting the problem:

why we need policy tools?

Two important components of the

challenge related to the support of

SFM

(1)

 

changing

natural

production

conditions due

to climate change

and increasingly diverse

forest stand characteristics;

(2)

 

growing and changing profile of

multiple,

sometimes conflicting demands

from

owners, industry and society.

Private

goods (

with

market

prices)

Public good

(P&S

without

market

prices)

Two important challenges

(1)

 

changing

natural production

conditions due to climate change

and increasingly diverse forest stand characteristics;

(2)

 

growing and changing profile of

multiple, sometimes conflicting

demands

from owners, industry and society.

Innovative management approaches and tools are needed. In

sustainable forest management, the integration of

provision of various

ecosystem services

and

secured qualitative and quantitative

supply of raw material

, as well as the solid assessment of

trade-offs

between various management goals have to be strengthened.

For this, forest owners and managers need balanced spatial

segregative and integrative strategies

and

improved

decision-support tools.

Tools and actions:

defining priorities in

innovations

Tools: how to support the supply of public goods

by the forestry sector?

Soft

Innovation needs

(ideas from the Forest

Technology Platform in 2013)

•

 

Identifying

trade-offs and synergies of forest

ecosystem services

by spatial mapping of supply and

demand under changing conditions

•

 

Understanding the role of risks of disturbances.

Integrating

solutions for disturbances in forest

management

. Including the loss of economic value in

forest growth and management models.

• 

Developing decision-support tools and management

solutions

for a balanced integration of the provision of

ecosystem services in multifunctional management of

forests, taking into account extreme events and

climate-induced hazards.
