The world’s forests are assets that generate priceless benefits, but if neglected, they can quickly turn into liabilities.

New research “translates” global forest carbon flux data into the same categories countries use to report their national GHG inventories.

How we define “what is a forest?” can have major implications for how forests — and more importantly, changes to forests — are measured.

This year’s tree cover loss data shows that Europe’s forests face increasing pressures including logging, wildfires, insect outbreaks and wood harvesting to meet changing energy demands.

A new study found that important tall, mature forests are declining in some parts of Europe due to timber harvesting and climate change.

Under the EUDR, wood products entering the EU market must be degradation-free. Tools like GFW can help companies monitor for degradation.
