The objective of the study is to (i.) review the progress in implementation, and (ii.) to assess progress towards the achievement of the objectives of the EU Forest Strategy. The study fully covers seven themes, which altogether will address seven out of the eight priority areas of the EU Forest Strategy. These study themes are: (1) Fostering the competitiveness and sustainability of the EU's Forest-based Industries, bio-energy and the wider green economy; (2) Forests in a changing climate; (3) Protecting forests and enhancing ecosystem services. (4) What forests do we have and how are they changing? (5) New and innovative forestry and added-value products; (6) Working together to coherently manage and better understand our forests; (7) Forests from a global perspective.
