Did you know that since 1990, the world has lost 178 million hectares of forest - an area more than twice the size of Türkiye?
Timber has significant global impacts on people, nature, and climate. Timber is a key commodity that influences various aspects of sustainability. It's essential for food, medicine, and biofuel for over a billion people. Forests play a crucial role in protecting soils, water resources, and hosting a vast majority of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
Global impact: Timber is a significant commodity with far-reaching effects on people, nature, and the climate, making it a focal point for sustainable practices.
Essential resource: It serves as a crucial source of food, medicine, and biofuel for over a billion people worldwide.
Biodiversity and environmental protection: Forests, as the primary source of timber, are vital for protecting soil and water resources and are home to over three-quarters of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals: Engaging with timber aligns with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, emphasising its role in sustainable land management and responsible business practices
What are the challenges?
In the forestry sector, key challenges include deforestation, often driven by land-use change, leading to biodiversity loss and increased emissions. Forest degradation impacts timber production areas, affecting ecosystem health. Social challenges involve land rights and community impacts. Economically, balancing supply-demand and adapting to climate changes are significant concerns.
