Recording of the second ForestTalks webinar
The second webinar of our “Forest Talks” webinar series: EU Forest Policy and Pathways in a Changing World was held on March 17th 2025.
Enhancing the contribution of forests towards EU climate mitigation targets is instrumental for the transition towards a green and prosperous economy. Achieving economic prosperity in the region is crucial to garner support for policy implementation benefiting the forest sector, the climate and biodiversity targets in the EU Green Deal. However, the fundament of this decarbonization is hampered by recent changes in the geopolitical environment, including the EU and US elections, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and regional polarization.
Speakers included Prof. Sten Nilsson, whose groundbreaking studies on boreal forest policy and global forest sector analysis have advanced sustainable forest management and shaped international forest policy.
This seminar series on forest monitoring and forest-based policy pathways for climate and biodiversity goals is organised by ForestNavigator, in collaboration with its sister projects ForestPaths and PathFinder.
ForestNavigator, ForestPaths and PathFinder have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Program under grant agreements N°101056875, N°101056755 and N°101056907, respectively.

Open letter from the community for the full consideration of Earth Observation in the EU Forest Monitoring Law
Recognizing the increasing pressures on European forests, a community of Earth Observation (EO) experts have issued an open letter for consideration in shaping the Forest Monitoring Law (FML). The law as proposed by the European Commission includes the collection and sharing of timely and comparable forest data obtained through a combination of ground-based measurements and Earth Observation technology.
