La Stratégie de l’UE pour les Forêts pour 2030 : renforcer la résilience des forêts et des chaînes de valeur régionales

Dans le cadre du Green Deal, la Commission européenne devrait présenter au début de 2021 la nouvelle Stratégie de l’UE pour les Forêts pour 2030, abrogeant le texte de 2013. Les forêts constituent la couverture terrestre la plus commune des montagnes d’Europe continentale, couvrant 41 % de la superficie totale. Elles remplissent de multiples fonctions essentielles allant de la fourniture de bois à celle de services écosystémiques, comme la protection contre les risques naturels, la conservation de la faune et de la flore et le stockage du carbone. C’est pourquoi Euromontana a formulé en décembre 2020 des commentaires et des recommandations pour la feuille de route de la Commission européenne concernant la nouvelle Stratégie Forêts.

Euromontana insiste sur la nécessité de développer une Stratégie équilibrée, dans le respect des différentes utilisations existantes des forêts. Nos recommandations sont axées sur les points suivants :

  • Protéger les habitats et les espèces des forêts en promouvant une meilleure gestion des forêts et en renforçant la résilience des forêts aux incendies par la recherche, l’innovation sociale, les échanges de connaissances et une meilleure gouvernance.
  • Protéger les paysages, la biodiversité et la culture pastorale en appliquant une approche territoriale du reboisement.
  • Protéger l’économie locale et le développement durable des montagnes en encourageant l’utilisation des ressources bio-sourcées et des déchets de bois, en encourageant la recherche sur le chauffage à la biomasse et en soutenant la numérisation des PME de la filière bois. Cela devrait également passer par des stratégies adaptées de séquestration du carbone et des actions concrètes contre l’exploitation illégale des forêts.

Euromontana réaffirmera ces exigences lors de la consultation publique qui doit s’ouvrir avant la fin de 2020 et espère que la Commission européenne présentera au printemps 2021 une stratégie équilibrée et efficace pour faire face aux défis environnementaux et socio-économiques des zones de montagne. Pour plus d’informations sur nos recommandations, veuillez consulter notre réponse à la feuille de route de la Commission européenne « La Stratégie de l’UE pour les Forêts pour 2030 : renforcer la résilience des forêts et des chaînes de valeur régionales » (en anglais).

❄️ Winter may seem to have arrived, but climate change is shortening the season and making snowfall less reliable...leaving mountain resorts with a stark choice: close or adapt?⛰️ Head to Austria to discover how the Sankt Corona ski resort has responded to this challenge and turned a climate risk into a regional asset, as part of the Interreg Alpine Space - TranStat project: www.euromontana.org/sankt-coronas-response-to-climate-change-diversifying-tourism-for-a-resilient...👉 Explore our good practices database: www.euromontana.org/good-practices-database/ Photo credits © Wexl Arena St. Corona am Wechsel ...

🧊 Glaciers matter for water, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond. This is what we are highlighting this year on 11 December, International Mountain Day.Every year, this day provides an opportunity to emphasise the crucial importance of these areas in terms of natural resources, biodiversity, identity, cultural heritage, ways of life, and more resilient models. However, all of this is under threat from climate change, poorly targeted funding and negative perceptions of pastoral professions.Today, we are putting the spotlight on these endangered ice giants throughout our mountain ranges!Did you know that: 💧The Alps alone provide 40% of Europe's fresh water?💡Glacier retreat will reduce hydroelectric energy production by an average of 10% in the Alps and by up to 35% by 2070 compared to today?🌱68% of irrigated agricultural land in the plains depends directly on water runoff from the mountains? ⛰️By 2034 the Pyrenees will be ice-free?📢An appropriate governance of glacier is needed to counteract the rapid changes!🧊 By signing the manifesto for better European governance of glaciers alongside 80 other organisations, we are calling for immediate and targeted political responses to the economic, social and environmental impacts of climate change.Have a look 👉 www.euromontana.org/european-manifesto-for-a-governance-of-glaciers-and-connected-resources/ #IMD2025 #InternationalMountainDay #MountainsMatterMountain Partnership ...
