Press Release: 2000 Report on the forest condition in Europe

The European Commission and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) have published their annual report on the forest condition in Europe with the results of the crown condition assessment and of the intensive monitoring programme in European forests. This report provides important information for policy makers and the public on the situation of European forests. It shows there is no overall improvement of the vitality of the forests and that great regional differences in development of the situation exist. Further reduction of emissions is still needed to guarantee the multiple functions of forests in Europe as a basis for a sustainable forest management.
