EU forest targets at risk: Criteria for progress measurement insufficient.
The article examines if the current EU forest policies have clear targets and if the pan-European criteria for sustainable forest management can measure progress towards these targets. The researchers found that most forest-related targets in EU policies are qualitative rather than quantitative. They suggest that adjustments to the criteria are needed to track progress towards these targets effectively. This information can help improve EU forest policies by identifying what needs to be measured to achieve their goals.
