EU forests, < 5% of the world forests, are responsible for > 20% of the overall forest sink! Sustainable Forest Management & forest expansion are key reasons for that! But we cannot give such important sink for granted. Addressing the increasing disturbances should be a priority

Sylviculture and landscape management are key to reduce the risk of forest fires. The science behind it has been available for many years. It is time to connect the science to action on the ground, which requires long term political vision & committment
