A report published last week by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) “offers a clear and compelling narrative of the role of sustainable working forests and their products in enabling the transition to a net-zero economy”.
The report describes three key areas of impact:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in operations and across the value chain;
- Increasing carbon removals through sequestration in sustainable working forests and storage in forest products; and
- Growing the circular bioeconomy through the substitution of non-renewable and fossil-based materials with forest products.
WBCSD is a global, CEO-led organization of over 200 leading businesses working together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world.
The full report, as well as a helpful summary of its key messages, are available here.
