1. Welcomes the Commission’s view that forests should be seen as one of the main instruments for stemming the factors which contribute to climate change, by, for example, capturing CO2 from the atmosphere; emphasises that sustainable forest management, including forest protection and forest restoration adapted to the different conditions across Europe, is of pivotal importance for the EU in achieving its climate goals and protecting forest biodiversity, which delivers numerous ecosystem services (supply to users of timber as well as services related to carbon storage ...[+++] and protection against natural disasters) and cultural services (in the form of sustainable tourism) that are essential to society;

Finally the Commissioner highlighted the unique relationship between the climate change objectives and the activities of the industry through their favouring for carbon sequestration in forests and carbon storage in forest products.

There is a common denominator, a common theme through all of those activities, whether it is greater energy conservation; greater energy efficiency; more diversification among our energy sources; more use of renewable and alternative fuels; more activity of the nature of cogeneration facilities; improved industrial processes; the proper application of our international flexibility tools; sequestration of carbon, storage of carbon, whether that is by natural means through forest sinks and agricultural sinks ...[+++]or industrial means like injection in the coal seams or injection in old oil patches and so forth.
