This business brief provides an overview of factors influencing wood supply from European forests and gives specific response options by which the wood-based industry can address emerging challenges. It underscores the urgency and complexity of addressing the impacts of climate change and other pressing challenges, and also emphasises the need for adaptation, innovation and holistic approaches to navigating the disruptive consequences of these challenges. 
 

The publication titled "Europe's Wood Supply in Disruptive Times. Business brief of the synthesis report" is based on the evidence-based scientific report Europe's Wood Supply in Disruptive Times (IUFRO World Series Volume 42, March 2024), which was developed under the TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS platform.

TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS (https://teamingup4forests.com) was founded in 2021 by IUFRO and Mondi and has established a professional network of 100+ scientists, business representatives and policymakers along the forest value chain since then. The platform aims to translate globally available scientific findings into practical response options for the wood-based sector; offer a meeting point for regular interaction, knowledge exchange and mutual learning; and actively share outcomes and facilitate discussion on the future of forest goods and services. The platform aims to include new partners in the future.
