STRATEGY 2018-2021 2018–2021 emphasis will be placed on the following strategic areas: q Meeting the demands of sustainable forest management in a growing bioeconomy. q Maintenance and increased utilisation of ecosystem services. q Climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Five main tools will be used to address the strategic focus areas: ● Promoting and funding forest research collaborations and networking activities. ● Improve gender equality and social inclusion, ensuring that equality becomes a regular feature of work in the Nordic forest sector. ● Strengthen forest research and interdisciplinary collaborations in Nordic, as well as Nordic Baltic, European and international contexts. ● Provide policy advice to the Nordic countries and the Nordic Council of Ministers based on forest research. ● Communicate reliable, relevant and current research results and policy advice to other identified target groups.
