OptFor-EU Sub-Project on Indicators


Title of the project: Optimising forest management decisions for a low-carbon, climate resilient future in Europe 

Acronym: OptFor-EU

Funding source: Horizon Europe

Bio-based sector: Forestry

Description:

The primary objective of OptFor-EU project is to co-develop a Decision Support System with forest managers and other stakeholders, that provides them with suitable climate adaptation and mitigation options for optimising forest ecosystem services (including decarbonisation) and enhancing forest resilience and its capacities to mitigate climate change across Europe. In this project a set of novel Essential Forest Mitigation Indicators will be elaborated, to provide evidence of the multiple effects of Nature-Based Solutions in the form of forest ecossystem service and the associated decarbonisation potential to highlight what silvicultural measures need to be applied to maximise their mitigation potential, while ensuring the provision of other ecosystem services under the current and future climate.
