This report examines how forest-based climate policies in the EU27, China, and the United States interact with global wood markets, carbon dynamics, and land use through trade. Using GLOBIOM-China as a core model, we assess a baseline scenario and three mitigation scenarios with emphasis on bioenergy expansion (HighBIO), increased wood use in construction (HighCONST), and a combination of both (HighBC). To assess harvest and carbon sink leakage, the scenarios are varied with both free-trade and fixed trade settings.

The deliverable D9.2 documents the operational public release of the ForestNavigator Data Explorer, a web-based service that provides public access to harmonised Work Package 2 (WP2) forest indicators. The Data Explorer supports interactive exploration of indicators through maps, legends, contextual overlays, and linked summaries, and provides reporting-unit-based statistics (for the European Union (EU27) by default, with national and subnational options). As part of the Data Explorer, indicator-specific documentation is available to enhance usability and transparency of the data for its users through an “About data” panel, including definitions, sources, methodological notes, limitations, and citation guidance.

This report describes deliverable D2.4, which is a demonstration of yearly updates of EU-wide and country-level greenhouse gas emission inventories. The regional focus is on Ireland, Italy and the Czech Republic. A webinar was held on 23 February 2026 to present the results of this task. This report provides a brief summary of the datasets and methods presented in the webinar.

This report describes the data delivered in D2.3, which consists of the second version of the forest geodatabase (“forest4model” datacube) and the updated EUFo database. This report provides a brief summary of the data layers included in D2.3 compared to D2.1 and D2.2, the methods applied, existing data sources used, and data curation efforts to date. Existing and planned validation steps of the data are also briefly described.

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.
