Hosted by the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU, the FAO Liaison office with the European Union and Belgium, and FAO’s Forestry Division, this event will showcase how innovation within the forest-based sector can help develop high-value products and address many of today’s challenges.

• Discover how leading initiatives promote using wood in construction to significantly reduce carbon emissions and create job opportunities, especially in rural areas. You’ll also learn about the European Commission’s bioeconomy strategy and action plan and its importance in achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal.

The event is targeted at policy-makers, experts and stakeholders working on the forest-based bioeconomy with an interest in sustainability issues and the potential of forests to contribute to green recovery and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies within the European Union and globally.
