Policy Brief on Advancing Forest-Based Bioeconomy
Approaches</u></strong></i></a> at the 21st Session of the United
Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF21) in New York, USA. 34 authors from 13 countries have
contributed to this publication consolidating key scientific evidence, policy insights,
and practical perspectives on how sustainable forest-based bioeconomy approaches can be
advanced across different contexts worldwide. The Policy Brief is launched at a side-event
titled "Vienna Call for Action: The power of forest-based bioeconomy", which is
a follow-up to the Global Summit <a
href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22g…
Sustainable Forest-based Bioeconomy Approaches</u></a>, held in Vienna,
Austria, in February 2026.<br /><br />In recent years, the urgency of
addressing interconnected global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss,
resource insecurity, and growing socio-economic inequalities has become increasingly
evident. These pressures are further intensified by often inefficient production and
consumption patterns. Consequently, there is a need for transformation to balance economic
development with environmental and biodiversity goals and social well-being.<br
/><br />A forest-based bioeconomy offers a powerful pathway to address these
challenges. It goes beyond wood products and bioenergy, encompassing the full range of
forest types, their goods and ecosystem services. Sustainably managed forests can provide
renewable materials, bioenergy, and other ecosystem services while supporting livelihoods,
strengthening rural economies, and contributing to climate change mitigation and
adaptation.<br /><br />These opportunities are already visible in practice
across different regions. From mass timber buildings in cities like Singapore and
Amsterdam to national programmes supporting timber construction in Europe, the use of wood
supported by strong sustainability safeguards is increasing as a low-carbon alternative in
the built environment. At the same time, value chains based on non-wood forest products,
such as baobab in Africa or açaí in the Amazon, show how forests can generate income and
innovation, while also requiring strong sustainability safeguards. These examples
highlight that successful forest-based bioeconomy pathways depend on context-specific
solutions, strong governance, and inclusive value chains.<br /><br />As IUFRO
President <i>Professor</i> <i>Daniela Kleinschmit</i> notes,
"When grounded in principles of sustainability, equity, and resilience, forest-based
bioeconomy strategies can play a central role in advancing circular economies and
delivering on multiple global commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), the Paris Agreement, and the Global Biodiversity Framework among
others." <br /><br />Global demand for wood and bio-based materials is
expected to continue rising, driven by population growth, urbanization and the transition
away from fossil-based resources. Overall material use has more than tripled over the past
50 years and could increase by a further 60% by 2060. Biomass currently supplies roughly a
quarter of global material needs. Meeting this demand sustainably will require a
combination of strategies, including improved productivity in both natural and planted
forests, more efficient manufacturing and higher value use of wood resources, alongside
strong governance frameworks to ensure sustainability.<br /><br /><i>Dr.
Nelson Grima</i>, Coordinator of <a

SciPol Programme</u></a> and co-editor of the publication explains, "This
new Policy Brief is intended to inform policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders
engaged in the forest sector and the broader bioeconomy transformation. It synthesizes
scientific evidence and practical experience to identify actionable policy options that
accelerate a sustainable, inclusive, just, and circular forest-based
bioeconomy." <br /><br /><strong>Download: </strong><a
