Climate change poses a significant threat to the fundamental functions of forests, which play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity. One of the most critical functions of forests is their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, acting as carbon sinks. However, without adequate action to address climate change, this capacity is increasingly at risk.<\/p>\n
How Climate Change Impacts Forests<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Decline in CO2 Absorption Capacity Importance of Action The forest protection and restoration<\/a> reform aims to reduce the risks of the introduction and spread of forest pests in forest restoration. This will be achieved through expert supervision and transparent tracking of the origin and genetic<\/a> diversity of forest reproductive material. This will contribute to the health of forests and their adaptability to climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n The reform will have a positive impact on the good condition of forest-related habitats and species and on strengthening ecological services, biodiversity and resilience to climate change<\/a>. It is sustainable and involves upgrading climate change restoration<\/a> and mitigation regulations and climate-related disasters.<\/p>\n The revision of the rules governing forest<\/a> reproductive material will allow young forest to adapt to a climate-related changing environment.<\/p>\n What are the changes to the rules: To this end, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food has adopted three sets of rules in 2022: The Ministry will monitor the effects of the reform through the National Forest Programme, and criteria and indicators will include, but are not limited to, timber stock, forest area, carbon stock and forest<\/a> damage.<\/p>\n Additional links:<\/strong><\/p>\n Climate change poses a significant threat to the fundamental functions of forests, which play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity.

\n<\/strong>Forests’ ability to sequester CO2 depends on their health and productivity. Climate change<\/a> undermines these factors in several ways:<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>To mitigate these impacts, proactive measures are essential:<\/p>\n\n
\n\u2022 marketing of forest reproductive material of adequate quality to maintain adaptability to climate<\/a> change;
\n\u2022 a greater number of geographically dispersed nurseries ensure the conservation of forest<\/a> genetic resources, the sustainable development of multifunctional forests and the genetic diversity of tree species and the preparation of forests for unexpected climate and weather changes;
\n\u2022 better tracking and professional supervision for the purposes of certification of forest<\/a> reproductive material;
\n\u2022 non-technical arrangements, transparency and clarity of the procedures for obtaining and issuing a certificate of origin for forest<\/a> reproduction material.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Rules on the conditions for entry in the Register of Suppliers and Other Obligations of Suppliers and Requirements for the Marketing of Forest Reproductive Material,
\n\u2022 Rules amending the Rules on the conditions for entry in the Register of Suppliers and Other Obligations of Suppliers and Requirements for the Marketing of Forest Reproductive Material,
\n\u2022 Rules on master certificates identifying forest reproductive material.<\/p>\n\n
