ForestNavigator (Navigating European forests and forest bioeconomy sustainably to EU climate neutrality) aims at assessing the climate mitigation potential of European forests and forest-based sectors through modelling of policy pathways, consistent with the best standards of LULUCF reporting, and informing the public authorities on the most suitable approach to forest policy and bioeconomy.

Precise information on the current status of forests is required to forecast forest management effects which allows informed policy decisions. To inform and support the implementation of these policy objectives, PathFinder (Towards an Integrated Consistent European LULUCF Monitoring and Policy Pathway Assessment Framework) will develop and demonstrate an innovative integrated forest monitoring and pathway assessment system.

To ensure the project’s results are robust, relevant and practically applicable, ForestPaths maintains a continuous and in-depth dialogue with its key stakeholders. This is partly achieved through the project’s Policy Engagement Forum, which combines digital with hybrid and in-person activities.
