The EU ministers responsible for agriculture and fisheries met in Brussels. They focused on forests and their importance in the transition to a green, climate-neutral and competitive circular bioeconomy.<\/p>\n

The agriculture ministers approved the conclusions on the new EU Forest Strategy for 2030, sending a clear political message on an issue as important for the future as the role and importance of forests in the EU and globally. The ministers agreed on the need for forests to contribute more to the European Green Deal and global goals such as the 2030 Agenda. They emphasised that forests play an integral role in ensuring human and animal health and a healthy natural environment. They stressed the importance of fruitful dialogue between EU member states, the Commission, forest owners, other stakeholders and civil society. The Council stressed the importance of a balance between environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable forest management and that the diversity of forests and the established methods of forest management in different member states and regions should be respected and maintained. The Council conclusions also underline the fact that forests are becoming a cross-cutting issue in many EU policies and that the EU is attaching increasing importance to the contribution of forests to the European Green Deal, the global objectives on forest protection and new forest-related challenges.<\/p>\n

The chair, Minister Jo\u017ee Podgor\u0161ek, said: \"Slovenia as one of the most forested countries in the world has always been aware of the importance of sustainable and multifunctional forest management. Thus, I am very pleased that conclusions on such important issues have been adopted during the Slovenian Presidency. Most of the conclusions reflect the need for cooperation of all stakeholders in establishing a balanced approach to forests. This is the only way to successfully take on the challenges posed by our forests and, at the same time, protect the communities living off of forest resources.\"<\/p>\n
