In the Baltic Sea Region forestry is important to the economy and sustainable development. Keeping these sectors profitable and competitive is a key factor in securing the future sustainable development of the region. SNS is strongly involved in the activities to strengthen the forest research cooperation in the region. Activities are coordinated via the EFINORD flagship ‘Sustainable Forest Management in the Baltic Sea Region – EFINORD’. The EFINORD flagship offers a voluntary based umbrella for forest and SFM related activities in the Baltic Sea Strategy. Read more here.
