All components of supply will have to expand, especially harvest residues, but the projections seem sustainable for all countries in Europe. Total wood supply would have to increase by nearly 50% in twenty years (assuming no significant increase in imports from other regions). It considers that the colossal forest potential of the country is essentially under-utilised. However, developing a culture of innovation is a complex challenge, going far beyond the boundaries of the forest sector. However the challenges described in the study are exceptionally complex and long term and will require a high level of sophisticated cross-sectoral policy making to find the necessary balanced and sustainable solutions. Net annual increment, carbon stock and net ecosystem production are all expected to increase, despite increased losses from fires, wind, pests and diseases.
