The right choices and how to make them

摘要

Annica Bresky,President and GEO of Stora Enso,believes that protecting biodiversity and carbon sinks can be consolidated with the needs of the forest industry.With the right choices,compromise is possible.”It's not either-or,it's both-and.It means focusing on sustainable forestry and carefully choosing how to use the timber.The product must also store carbon for as long as possible.”Bresky finds it essential to protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change.She names the forest industry as a producer of solutions.The transition away from fossil materials is based on bioeconomy and forest products.Bresky believes that it is agriculture and land use,rather than forestry,that are the main reasons for the loss of biodiversity.Many European countries have no forests left,and Bresky would like to see larger regions in Europe reforested.
