Sustainable and Circular Bioeconomy in Forest-based Industries

The shift to a sustainable and circular bioeconomy can help both people and the planet.

This study explores how a circular bioeconomy, especially one rooted in forest-based materials, can boost climate resilience, restore ecosystems, and support local jobs and Indigenous livelihoods.

The report looks at tradeoffs and calls for clear policies, innovative solutions and strong partnerships to make sure the shift supports local economies, protects nature, and creates green jobs. It also highlights the importance of local production and consumption in making the bioeconomy work for everyone.
