Pan-European reporting on forests and forest management
Pan-European reportingScope of reporting (1)
• C 1: Forest Resources and Carbon• C 2: Maintenance of Forest Ecosystem Health and Vitality• C 3: Productive Functions of Forests• C 4: Biological Diversity in Forest Ecosystems• C 5: Protective Functions in Forest Management• C 6: Socio-Economic Functions and Conditions
Pan-European reportingScope of reporting (2)
C 4: Biological Diversity in Forest Ecosystems• Tree species composition• Regeneration • Naturalness• Introduced tree species• Deadwood• Genetic resources• Landscape pattern• Threatened forest species• Protected forests

Subsets of indicators (1)
National proposals for key indicators (examples)
Finland- Forest area- Forest damage - Increment and fellings- Roundwood, energy wood, non-
wood goods and services - Naturalness - Deadwood- Protected and protective forests - Contribution of forest sector to GDP
Austria- Forest area- Growing stock- Carbon stock- Forest damages- Increment and fellings- Tree species composition- Deadwood- Protected and protective forests- Selected economic factors- Use of wood- Cultural aspects of forests
Subsets of indicators (2)
Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators 2010
CBD focal area: Sustainable use Headline indicator: Area of forest, agricultural, fishery and aquaculture ecosystems under sustainable management
SEBI 2010 specific indicators:17. Forest: growing stock, increment and fellings18. Forest: deadwood
Subsets of indicators (3)
Sustainable Development Goals (proposal)
Goal 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Target 15.1 By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements Proposed Indicator 1: Coverage of protected areas broken down by ecosystem type, including total area of forests in protected areas (thousands of hectares) Proposed Indicator 2: Forest area as a percentage of total land area
Target 15.2 By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and increase afforestation and reforestation by [x] per cent globally Proposed Indicator 1: Net forest emissions Proposed Indicator 2: Forest cover under sustainable forest management
