This report describes the European Forests Database (EUFo) and its methodology delivered in D2.2, which presents the collection of original sub-national information on forest area, harvest, biomass stock and increment from National Forest Inventories and other forest-related data sources. In addition, EUFo also includes a harmonized annual database on these same indicators based on a modelling approach to consistently assess Europe’s forest carbon status and change. Furthermore, the database contains data on international trade of wood products.

In recent years, the EU27 forest carbon sink—including forest land and harvested wood products—has shown a marked decline due to natural disturbances, climate change impacts, forest aging and changes in harvest intensity. This weakening sink poses a challenge for EU climate policy. To assess future trajectories of the forest sector, we developed a cross-scale, harmonized Baseline scenario within the ForestNavigator project, representing the development of forest emissions and removals under a continuation of current management
practices and recent wood demand trends, without the introduction of new policy measure after 2023. This Baseline integrates projections from national forest carbon models (CBM-CZ, CBM-IE, CBM-IT, Heureka) and the EU-level GLOBIOM–G4M–X modelling framework.

Task 6.4 of the ForestNavigator project focuses on developing a robust and integrated modelling toolbox to assess the climate mitigation potential of the EU forest-based sector. Building on the conceptual framework of Task 6.1, the toolbox enhances existing models by addressing key limitations in representing climate change impacts, forest disturbances, harvested wood product dynamics, and cross-sectoral policy interactions. At its core, the toolbox integrates the GLOBIOM/G4M-X modelling framework, which combines economic land-use modelling with detailed forest management simulations that now include climate-induced risks and adaptive responses.
