This paper assessed the state and prospects of forest ecosystem services provision in Europe, introducing new data from three European collaborative research projects including SINCERE.

A key factor in the resilience of water and forest ecosystems is the management decisions taken by the individuals responsible for them, from public officials to private owners.

Ecosystems provide people with services that enable adaptation to climate change, which we refer to here as 'adaptation services'. But adaptation services do not flow automatically: some input from people is needed.

Ecosystems can sustain social adaptation to environmental change by protecting people from climate change effects and providing options for sustaining material and non-material benefits as ecological structure and functions transform. Along adaptation pathways, people navigate the trade-offs between different ecosystem contributions to adaptation, or adaptation services (AS), and can enhance their synergies and co-benefits as environmental change unfolds.

Do climate adaptation, mitigation and biodiversity conservation goals walk hand in hand when it comes to the management of Europe’s forests? Or are they closely related, but essentially different pursuits?
Read a recap of the fourth webinar in the SINCERE Talks series focuses on trade offs and synergies between climate change adaptation & mitigation and forest biodiversity conservation in the EU’s forests.
