The use of sustainability indicators in EFORWOOD Ewald Rametsteiner, BOKU University Vienna EFORWOOD Conference 2 October 2007, Brussels

EU policies: - “sustainable development” as core principle - a range of key tools developed/under development EU sustainable development indicators EU sustainability impact assessment

Forestry-wood chain: -… based on renewable resources -... a pillar of any bio- based economy - …potentially “truly sustainable”, …but

Forestry-wood chain sustainability: -… don’t claim it, measure it -… assess impacts of other factors on FWC-sustainability INDICATORS SPECIFY THE DIMENSIONS ON WHICH SUSTAINABILITY IS MEASURED AND ASSESSED

INDICATORS SPECIFY THE DIMENSIONS ON WHICH SUSTAINABILITY IS MEASURED AND ASSESSED

BIO-PHYSICAL KNOWLEDGE SOCIETAL VALUES ECONOMIC DYNAMICS UNDERSTANDING

Sustainability indicator development: -… has a scientific AND a “political” dimension -… needs iterative development loops -… needs updating over time (open, evolving concept) FWC indicator development: -… based on existing EU SDI sets -… iterative development loops within EFORWOOD -… + stakeholder consultation

= FWC sustainability indicators are relevant at the “Input” and the “Output” end Data collection for processes along FWCs Reference Frame: FWC – Sust. Indicators Economic Social Environmental FW chains Region case EU case Sust. Impact Assessment tools ToSIA EUROPE WORLD Current & future scenarios Results: changes in FWC – Sust. Indicator values FWC-INDICATORS in EFORWOOD

Forestry-wood chain sustainability indicators: Initial FWC indicator Set (draft 5): … 22 quantitative indicators - economic: 8 - social: 4 - environmental: 10 … 6 qualitative indicators …now in revision

1 Economic indicators (1) Gross value added and GDP (2) Production costs (1) Trade balance (1) Resource / material use (5) Enterprise structure (6) Investment and R&D (7) Innovation (8) Total production 2 Social Indicators (9) Employment (10) Wages and salaries (11) Occupational safety and health (12) Education and Training 3 Environmental Indicators (11) Energy generation and use (11) Greenhouse gas balance (15) Transport (16) Water (17) Forest resources (18) Recycling and recovery (19) Emissions to soil, water and air (20) Tree species comp. & forest protection (21) Corporate responsibility (22) Generation of waste

Data collection on indicators for single chains: - for relevant indicators - based on data collection protocols - per Module and process

Indicator values FWC-INDICATORS in EFORWOOD

EXPECTED OUTPUT: FORESTRY-WOOD CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS 1. used for sustainability impact assessments in TOSIA tools developed by EFORWOOD 2. ready to be used for other purposes - for forest sector sustainability reporting - as reference for company sustainability reporting
