Europe's forests at a glance — a breath of fresh air in a changing climate

Forests do not only provide us food, fibre and medicine, they
regulate our climate and improve our quality of life. Human
activities and climate change exert increasing pressure on our forest
resources and the services they provide. With increasing demand
on forests services on the one side, and uncertainty and risks linked
to climate change on the other, we need to ensure that forests can
continue fulfilling their multifunctional role.
