The Forest Products Annual Market Review 2021-2021 provides a comprehensive analysis of markets in the UNECE region and reports on the main market influences beyond the region. It covers products from the forest to the end-user and from roundwood and primary processed products to value-added, housing, and wood energy. Statistics-based chapters analyze the markets for wood raw materials, sawnwood, wood-based panels, paper, paperboard, and wood pulp. Underlying the analysis is a comprehensive collection of data. The Review highlights the role of sustainable forest products in international markets, discusses policies concerning forests and forest products, assesses the main trends and drivers, and analyses the effects of the current economic situation on forest product markets.

Given the challenges that European protective forests face, such as limited diversity of tree species, forest fires, windstorms, and pest infestations, this publication proposes integrating mitigation and adaptation into protective forest management to address these challenges.

Sheds light on how internal migration and commercial agriculture shape deforestation patterns across Uganda. The findings indicate that cash crop producers and inter-district migrants engaged in agriculture are linked with a significant rise in deforestation.
