Barriers to and opportunities for climate change adaptation in the Swedish forestry sector

This report, part of the Mistra-SWECIA Annual Report 2011, examines the climate change adaptation needs of the Swedish forestry sector, noting that while higher temperatures may increase productivity, negative effects are also expected.

• The Swedish forestry sector is a major global exporter of sawn wood products, pulp, and paper, and is considered a core industry for the country.
• Swedish forestry has been viewed as a potential beneficiary of climate change due to the likelihood that higher temperatures will lead to increased productivity and faster vegetation growth.
• Despite potential productivity gains, it is becoming evident that climate change will cause negative impacts on Swedish forests, creating a need for adaptation within the sector.
