1. Society Briefs
Read three concise summaries of the main results of our project.
2. Network policy maps:
Here you can download the network policy maps. These maps feature keywords representative for each country’s bioeconomy strategies, including policy goals, perceived problems, as well as economic and environmental values promoted.
3. Special issue:
We are currently working on a special issue together with the Journal Ambio- A Jounral of the Human Environment titled: “Socio-political dimensions of forest-based bioeconomies in Europe: competing perspectives and regional disparities of bioeconomy policies”

Prof. Dr Daniela Kleinschmit, Chair of Forest and Environmental Policy, University of Freiburg (Germany).
The special issue focuses on the following questions:
I) How do different groups of actors with indirect or direct stakes in forests perceive and
make sense of the forest-based bioeconomy?
II) How do understandings of forest-based bioeconomies differ cross groups of actors and
countries?
III) What perspectives of the forest-based bioeconomy are integrated into and framed in
national bioeconomy policies/strategies?
IV) How do these understandings of forest-based bioeconomies potentially impact land-use
and forest management in Europe?
The issue is expected to come out by the end of 2020. Stay tuned for more information.
