This report describes the development of the MESMER-L-X emulator. We analyzed multiple COSMO-CLM² regional climate model simulations under different forest scenarios, which provided the foundation for developing an emulator that accurately predicts local direct temperature effects from forest changes. The tool successfully reproduces key outcomes from the original climate simulations and offers a fast and reliable method of assessing climate
impacts related to different forest management strategies and has further potential for extension with additional simulation datasets. This capability will be harnessed to support European forest policy pathways modelling.
This work highlights macro-economic developments of the forest sector in Europe. Socio-economic outcomes and impact on the forest sector (forestry, wood products, and paper & pulp) under high wood demand scenarios were assessed using the MAGNET model.
Sister projects have released a joint infographic showcasing their unified efforts to enhance forest contributions toward EU climate neutrality.
This deliverable describes the cooperation framework that the ForestNavigator project partners employ to collaborate with other Horizon Europe projects. This report describes the activities carried out for coordinating with other projects funded under the same call and other relevant ones. This report also gives a summary of the ForestNavigator work that contributes to the assignments from EC DGs.
