Forest in numbers – How can interactive data strengthen forest dialogue?
WEBINAR October 23 12.00 pm-1.00 pm. In this webinar, we explored the key findings of the SoEF 2025 report with a special focus on Forests in Numbers. How can interactive data strengthen forest dialogue.
The data that builds the SoEF-report is available in the report and as raw data. Today, data can be presented in more digestible and available formats; an innovative format is Forests in numbers – European Forest Data
Against this background, the webinar explores:
- How can the SoEF data be more available?
- If the data is more available, and updated, does that impact the dialogue on Europe’s forests in a positive direction?
