Abstract

A.0.2 Review challenges and opportunities for sustainable consumption patterns for forest products and the related services (e.g. through a high level conference). UNECE/FAO, stakeholders, ARCMED National Wood Resource and Product Balances workshop, Geneva, December 2017 The balance tool matches roundwood supply with demand. In the case of a shortage (i.e. more demand than supply) this can indicate harvest levels are higher than official figures indicate. If removals are higher this can indicate a challenge to sustainable consumption patters.
