ONEforest offers A Multi-Criteria Decision Support System For A Common Forest Management to Strengthen Forest Resilience, Harmonise Stakeholder Interests and Ensure Sustainable Wood Flows. ONEforest provides solutions for harmonizing various Forest Ecosystem Services. Thus, forest owners will be able to assess which way of forest management is advantageous for their objectives under current and future ecological and economic conditions.
FORWARDS, an EU-funded project, aims to create the ForestWard Observatory, a cutting-edge pan-European monitoring tool for assessing climate change impacts on forests. By bridging ground-based data and remote sensing, it will offer timely insights into forest vulnerabilities and guide decision-making for effective forest management. The project emphasizes climate-smart forestry (CSF), ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity preservation principles. It fosters stakeholder engagement, offering 50 grants for setting up the ForestWard Observatory and supporting the implementation and scaling-up of climate-smart restoration pilots. Leveraging existing networks and pilot sites, FORWARDS facilitates comprehensive monitoring, management, and stakeholder involvement. It also develops tools for spatial projections and regional CSF restoration roadmaps, aiming to evaluate conversion and restoration synergies and trade-offs.
