The Timber Committee week will focus in particular on the impacts of the economic crisis on the forest sector and the opportunities for the sector’s recovery and long-term development through its enhanced contribution to a green economy. Like many other sectors, the forest sector in UNECE countries has been badly hit by the economic crisis, which caused falling prices, reduced income, mill closures, job cuts and budget reductions. Yet the forest sector can make a significant contribution to the global effort to address both the socio-economic crisis and growing environmental challenges. The sector has strong potential to contribute to a greener economy and a more sustainable society by promoting the sustainable use of wood for wood energy, green building and other green products and services.
