Benefit for members: Higher economic yield from property Benefit for society: Higher economic yield from Swedish forests THROUGH: Mobilizing family forestry potential Avoiding structural drawbacks Effective use of resources Stronger actor in timber market Better capacity building Increased lobbying strength Why forest owners associations?

Benefit for members:

Higher economic yield from property

Benefit for society:

Higher economic yield from Swedish forests

THROUGH:

Mobilizing family forestry potential

Avoiding structural drawbacks

Effective use of resources

Stronger actor in timber market

Better capacity building

Increased lobbying strength

Forests as energy source and carbon absorbant Reduce energy consumption in forestry including transports by 25 % until 2020 Increase forest growth by 25 % Increase the use of forest based bioenergy by 25 Twh until 2020 Increase carbon absorbtion by 50 % in one growth circle Explore new ways of using forests for energy and other purposes. The Swedish Federation of Forest Owners wants to:

Reduce energy consumption in forestry including transports by 25 % until 2020

Increase forest growth by 25 %

Increase the use of forest based bioenergy by 25 Twh until 2020

Increase carbon absorbtion by 50 % in one growth circle

Explore new ways of using forests for energy and other purposes.

Forests as energy source and carbon absorbant Long term and clear rules for energy policy A positive attitude to increased forest growth and different ways to attain it Increased research in forestry and use of forest bioenergy for differnt purposes What do we need to attain the targets?
