Trees in the Greenhouse
Summary
The forest products industry is positioned to transition from a traditional lumber and paper business into a provider of sustainable fiber, energy, materials, and ecosystem services like carbon storage to address global warming, provided that clear, long-term international and national climate policies are established.
Key insights
- The forest products industry has the potential to benefit from global warming mitigation efforts by evolving into a sustainable producer of fiber, energy, and materials, as well as a supplier of ecosystem services such as carbon storage.
- Realizing the industry's opportunity to provide sustainable solutions to climate change requires the implementation of clear, long-term climate policies and regulatory frameworks at both national and international levels, although the industry currently remains fragmented and divided on appropriate policy approaches.
