Abstract: Forests are increasingly subject to competing demands, including their role as carbon sinks, reservoirs of biodiversity, sources of raw material and renewable energy. Although the European Union (EU) has no competence to regulate common forest policy, forest-related issues are addressed across multiple policy domains, which often creates challenges for policy coherence. In the recent years, the EU-level governance has expanded significantly through legal bases that directly or indirectly impact forests.
