The Forest-Based Bioeconomy in Action

About this Event

This event, organised as a partner event of the EU Green Week 2026, will explore the role of the EU forest‑based sector in advancing sustainable land use, forest resilience, and biodiversity. From carbon removals to ecosystem restoration, discussions will highlight how sustainably managed forests and forest‑based value chains contribute to resilient landscapes, thriving biodiversity, and a circular European economy.

Bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts, the event will showcase concrete solutions already being implemented across Europe, alongside policy perspectives on how to further strengthen the contribution of forests and forest‑based value chains to Europe’s climate and environmental objectives.
