ERIAFF, EFI, CEPF, Euromontana, EUSTAFOR Workshop Inform-Prioritize-Collaborate: Cooperation of Regions on Innovation in Forest Management, Use of Wood and forest-related Services Bruxelles, 19 May 2014 Improving Sustainable Forest Management Approaches and Tools Outline Setting the problem Tools and actions Conclusions Davide Pettenella Thanks to the input by Harald Mauser from EFI (on the FTP discussions) and from Johannes Wurm (EUSTAFOR) Two important components of the challenge related to the support of SFM Setting the problem: why we need policy tools? (1) changing natural production conditions due to climate change and increasingly diverse forest stand characteristics; (2) growing and changing profile of multiple, sometimes conflicting demands from owners, industry and society. 1

Large damaging events in European forests Ustable market/income Higher costs to provide environmental services Unstable, vulnerable forests Schelhaas, 2008 Schelhaas, 2008 Two important challenges (1) changing natural production conditions due to climate change and increasingly diverse forest stand characteristics; (2) growing and changing profile of multiple, sometimes conflicting demands from owners, industry and society. Tools and actions: defining priorities in innovations Innovative management approaches and tools are needed. In sustainable forest management, the integration of provision of various ecosystem services and secured qualitative and quantitative supply of raw material, as well as the solid assessment of trade-offs between various management goals have to be strengthened. For this, forest owners and managers need balanced spatial segregative and integrative strategies and improved decisionsupport tools. 3
Soft tools Tools: how to support the supply of public goods by the forestry sector? sermons carrots sticks Innovation needs (ideas from the Forest Technology Platform in 2013) Identifying trade-offs and synergies of forest ecosystem services by spatial mapping of supply and demand under changing conditions Understanding the role of risks of disturbances. Integrating solutions for disturbances in forest management. Including the loss of economic value in forest growth and management models. Developing decision-support tools and management solutions for a balanced integration of the provision of ecosystem services in multifunctional management of forests, taking into account extreme events and climateinduced hazards.
