\u201cThe Vision, which includes\u00a0ten Vision Targets for 2040, \u2013 K\u00f6stinger Continued \u2013 is very ambitious. It\u00a0will require policymakers, Member States\u2019 administrations and the stakeholders of the forest-based sector to work together to make the Vision a reality. This job starts today\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European forest-based sector has a major\u00a0role to play in\u00a0the bioeconomy.\u00a0The sustainable management of forests,and the provision of wood,\u00a0for various uses in implementing the bioeconomy plays a crucial role for the future development of our society. In this context,\u00a0future EU research policies\u00a0will be decisive for a successful bioeconomy development\u201d,\u00a0stated Peter Mayer,\u00a0Managing Director of the\u00a0Austrian\u00a0Research Centre for Forests (BFW)\u00a0and co-chair of the FTP National Support Group in Austria.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year was a record year for European funding to\u00a0boost research and innovation in the\u00a0forest-based sector. The\u00a0positive trend demonstrates\u00a0confidence\u00a0that\u00a0forest owners and\u00a0industry\u00a0can deliver\u00a0sustainable\u00a0bioproducts and technologies that\u00a0will enable the EU to make true\u00a0on its\u00a0commitments to\u00a0the\u00a0Paris\u00a0Climate\u00a0Agreement and theUnited Nations Sustainable Development Goals\u201d,\u00a0explained\u00a0Johan Elvnert, FTP Managing Director.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can provide solutions to the global challenges like no other sector. This is why a European Vision, based on the efforts of the whole forest-based sector is so important. FTP Vision 2040 is fully aligned with\u00a0S\u00f6dras\u00a0vision for the future\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Lena Ek, Chair of the Board of FTP and President of\u00a0S\u00f6dra,\u00a0Sweden\u2019s largest forest-owner association,\u00a0and\u00a0an international forest industry Group\u00a0with net sales in 2017 amounting to 2 billion Euro.<\/p>\n
