Earlier estimation of developments in the CO2 storage capacity of forests: categorising the results of the German National Forest Inventory

Blog 10/22/2024

The fourth German National Forest Inventory published on 8 October 2024 provides comprehensive results on the condition and development of forests for the period of 2017 to 2022. From a climate protection perspective, forests emitted more CO2 than they absorbed during this period. Below we classify the results and use our model FABio-Forest to show as an example the importance of forest modelling for climate policy.

No land-use transition without a food transition

Blog 02/15/2024

How do we organise agriculture in an environmentally friendly and climate-resilient way? How do we feed ourselves in a way that is good for our health and the planet? How do we harmonise forest protection and sustainable timber use? And how do we utilise the available land against the backdrop of competing demands? In short: How can we achieve a turnaround in agriculture to protect the climate and biodiversity? The Oeko-Institut's policy brief answers these and other questions.
