ForestPaths Project
@forestpaths.eu
Horizon Europe project aiming to create holistic forest-based policy pathways to optimise EU forests’ climate change mitigation potential (No 101056755).
🌲ForestPaths researchers from @tum.de, in collaboration with Berchtesgaden National Park Research, show that spectral unmixing-based forest recovery indicators can effectively predict post-disturbance recovery success.

Policy Lab 3 is a wrap! 🥳
Over three days, we explored SSP1 & SSP3, checked how far the visions can be reached, refined actions and trade-offs and gathered inputs for Policy Lab 4 (2026).
👏 Thanks to all partners and stakeholders involved!
Press release coming soon.

⭐ Post study tour, the stakeholders are back in their respective visions groups and it's now time to discuss the trade-offs identified per vision under the exploratory scenarios.
❓ The second step? Provide answers to a set of questions of importance to the modellers for taking the next steps.

😎 Policy Lab 3, Day 2 - has begun!
Today, our modellers have the task to present perspectives from their individual models to the stakeholders so they can further be informed when building their policy pathways towards the three visions.

💡 In Policy Lab 2, we created three visions (as seen in image below) for what #forests could look like by 2050.
📂 Policy Lab 3 focuses on how to reach them by building #policypathways using ForestPaths models.
The visions will be online soon—learn more about our models here: forestpaths.eu/models
