EURACTIV event: EU Forest Strategy 2030

EURACTIV is organizing a virtual conference on 24 March, from 14.30 to 16.00. This event aims to reflect on the EU Forest Strategy for 2030 and assess its progress as it nears the halfway point. Some questions that will be addressed include:

– As the halfway mark approaches, what are the key achievements of the EU Forest Strategy so far, and where does it fall short?
– Have member states aligned their efforts, or are there significant disparities in implementation? Which countries have seen the most success, and why?
– How have forest owners, managers, and the broader forest industry responded to the strategy? Are the financial incentives and support measures sufficient to enable them to adopt environmentally friendly practices?
– Has the planting of 3 billion new trees by 2030 progressed as planned, and what challenges remain in achieving this goal?

A number of panelists have been invited to lead the discussion:

• Thomas Waitz MEP, AGRI Committee, European Parliament
• Kelsey Perlman, Forest and Climate Campaigner, Fern
• Juha Jumppanen, Executive Vice President, Wood Supply and Forest Services, Metsä Group
• Sven Kallen, Founder, Life Terra Foundation

Further panelists to be announced soon.
