Description

The project targets the problem of emerging forest pests in Finland, particularly serious and growing due to the impact of climate change and the emergence of alien species of pests (mainly beetles) in Finnish forests. 

The ultimate objective of the project was the development of an effective general contingency plan strengthening protection against emerging forest pests in Finland. Support was also used for building networks, changing know-how and ideas during workshops, webinars and study visits with the other EU-members affected or threatened by the same priority forests pests. 

In the longer term, this project will contribute to an increased resilience of Finnish forests, a more solid economic recovery of the sector and a more stable climate-regulation function.
