Euro-bioeconomy & Global Development

The document argues that the EU's transition to a bioeconomy must be integrated into a broader sustainability transition to prevent excessive pressure on bioresources. It highlights that increasing biomass imports to reduce fossil fuel reliance could negatively impact supplier countries, necessitating guiding principles to manage synergies and trade-offs across sectors and regions.

• The European Union's effort to reduce fossil fuel dependence and execute its bioeconomy strategy will necessitate an increase in biomass imports, which carries the risk of exacerbating sustainability issues within the countries supplying these resources.
• To prevent excessive pressure on bioresources during the transition to a bioeconomy, national transitions must be integrated into a comprehensive sustainability transition that improves both production and consumption patterns.
