This report evaluates species distribution models under archetypal climate change and forest management scenarios to assess their impacts on terrestrial forest biodiversity. To achieve this, covariates describing environmental, climatic, and forest structural conditions under various climate change and forest management scenarios were analyzed using two complementary approaches. First, a modeling framework employing integrated species distribution models was applied, including a cross-scale comparison of results at both the pan-European scale and the national scale in Sweden. Second, a biodiversity trend assessment was conducted based on a non-systematic literature review and species-specific range maps.

This interim report provides a comprehensive overview of stakeholder engagement activities with the project’s Stakeholder Board, thus far. This focuses on the first stakeholder workshop, held in June 2023, and the second in September 2024. Experts from various forest-relevant fields were invited to interact with ForestNavigator research and researchers during thematic stakeholder engagement workshops.

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.

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.
