🪓 The EU’s growing biomass sector drives deforestation, monocultures, and human rights violations.
🌳 Carbon sinks in decline: Logging increases while the EU’s forest sink has dropped by 1/3 in a decade.

📦 Shift from fossil fuels to biosphere extraction: Replacing plastic with disposable paper, or coal with biomass, only amplifies pressure on forests.
🔥 Bioenergy is not climate-neutral: Burning wood emits as much CO₂ as coal.

Meanwhile, EU forests and carbon sinks are already collapsing.
Our key concerns in this document are:
🪵 Overexploitation of forests: EU timber harvesting has soared by 50% in 30 years. Forest carbon sinks are collapsing.
