Forests are essential to global food security, supporting billions with food, livelihoods, and ecosystem services. As efforts to protect them continue, sustainable practices remain key to ensuring their benefits for future generations.

CEPF stresses the need for a realistic perspective on the potential contributions of forests in the development of the European Water Resilience Strategy. While water is important for forests and forests are important for water, forests' potential contribution to solving water challenges is limited and should thus not be the focus of the Strategy.

The European State Forest Association (EUSTAFOR), along with the Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF), are looking for an Office Assistant to start as soon as possible.

The Office Assistant, in addition to working directly for EUSTAFOR, is responsible for the efficient functioning of the European Forestry House (EFH) through a wide range of administrative and practical tasks.

On 13 January 2025, the Environment and Agriculture Committees of the European Parliament held a joint public Hearing to discuss the European Commission's proposal on forest monitoring, titled “Forest Monitoring for resilient European Forests”. The panelists presented their views on the initiative and discussed current state and future strategies for monitoring Europe’s forests in the relation to the European Commission’s proposal.
