Robust solutions for sustainable forests
Climb-Forest
Working closely with the forestry sector and policy makers, Climb-Forest aims to ensure Europe’s forests are resilient to the changing climate and support people and nature. This is a Horizon Europe project.
Forests are complex networks...
Planting trees and restoring forests can play an important role in mitigating the climate crisis.
Under the European Green Deal, the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 commits to planting at least 3 billion additional trees in the EU by 2030.
However, single-species or poorly planned forests can be more vulnerable to droughts, fires, insect attacks and the changing climate.
Robust, healthy forests support people and nature
Well planned and managed forests support a diverse range of plants and animals and can provide additional opportunities for local people such as tourism or sustainable wood harvesting.
CLIMB-FOREST will use the latest data from forest research stations and satellites to support the planning and management of Europe’s new and existing forests.
New tools and resources
CLIMB-FOREST is collaborating with the forestry sector to develop new tools, interactive maps and best practice guidance.
