What is Bioeconomy?
The Bioeconomy represents a paradigm shift from society’s current unsustainable fossil-based resource dependency to a circular, sustainable and socially inclusive economy that thrives in harmony with the natural environment.
Forests are at the heart of a sustainable green transformation. By transitioning to a predominantly circular, bio-based economy we can reduce our dependency on fossil-fuels and contribute to climate change mitigation, environmental protection and societal cohesion.

Although the forest-based sector is, and will always be, a central pillar for the bioeconomy, new ways of thinking and acting are necessary if the bioeconomy transformation is to unfold. Such new ways of thinking are not only limited to new and improved ways of managing forests and conserving biodiversity, but also include new adaptive governance models, creative approaches to business and innovation, as well as a stronger focus on the equity and inclusion of society for co-creating a truly sustainable future.
