WP4 D12 – This report explores the expected impact of the Kyoto Protocol on European forestry. In particular the potential for the Forest Management option is examined. The report concludes that the position of the forestry sector within the current framework of the Kyoto Protocol is weak due to the cap imposed on potential forestry credits and the absence of a market for carbon sinks.
