7. Forestry and wood chains are essential components of sustainable development
In terms of multifunctional uses of land
In terms of economic and social impact
In terms of industrial competition
In terms of sustainable production
In terms of environment: biodiversity, C capture
In terms of international trade
These aspects justified the opening of a new instrument to deal with this integrative, innovative challenge and to contribute to enhance sustainable development strategy

8. The contributions of the Forestry IP are not isolated:
The sector needs to produce and use environmental technologies
The relationships with other land-uses (agriculture, urban, coastal zones,…) need to be understood and conflicts resolved
The insertion and contribution to the economy has to be taken into account
Externalities cannot be neglected and need to be internalized
Trade-off between multiple functions need to be included

10. The role of forestry and wood chains in the different calls and in FP7

11. Global-1
Multifunctional forestry and wood chains topic was open in the 1st call
One proposal passed all thresholds but was not funded

12. SSAs Global-2 InnovaWood
The main aim is to match industry needs and research capabilities through an integrated strategy for innovation in the European forestry- wood chain.

13. Global-3
Multifunctional forestry and wood chains was reopened for new instruments. The text included forestry management
Six proposals were presented at this first stage involving 158 European and international institutions
Integrated forest fire risk management, covering hazard,vulnerability and risk assessment (including wildland-urban interface)
Three proposals were presented at this first stage involving 109 European and international institutions
Several proposals for SSAs

14. Global-4
Tools for impact assessment of land use policies in developing countries might be open

15. Environmental research in FP 7
New instruments are proposed
Under collaborative research, Environment and Climate Change might be a thematic priority
Several openings for tropical forest as part of broader subjects:
Environmental technologies
Management of natural resources and services
Understanding and predicting climate change
Implementation of Sustainable Development strategy, including land use
Global earth observation

16. New Instrument Technology Platform
“European Technology Platforms will provide a means to foster effective public-private partnerships involving, as appropriate, public research, industry, financial institutions, users, regulatory authorities and policy-makers.”
22 proposals launched
Innovative and sustainable use of forest resources
A Technology Platform initiative by the European Forest-based Sector
(now preparing the vision paper and the public launch event)
