The deliverable content focuses on the ForestNavigator EU Policy Modelling Toolbox, which aims to address the interactions between climate, biodiversity, and bioeconomy. Here, we outline the concept of the toolbox, which is centered around the land-use economic model GLOBIOM/G4M-X and includes cross-sectoral interactions with the energy sector via the PRIMES model and to the broader macroeconomy with the linkage to the MAGNET model. The Toolbox also considers climate change impacts, ecosystem services, and biodiversity indicators, and outlines the model integration approach and deployment strategy for the project.
This deliverable quantifies the substitution impacts of wood use by comparing wood products to alternative materials or energy products. It follows both supply-oriented and demand-oriented approaches to trace wood uses and determine substitution impacts for specific end uses like construction and textiles. This deliverable complements the quantification of biogenic emissions and removals in the harvested wood product (HWP) pool (D5.2) and the land-use sector.
