MainWood
Wood supply for Swiss construction wood demand can come from national forests as well as from imports. We will model future demand of construction wood in the Swiss building stock and assess scenarios of timber supply from domestic and international sources, under different forest management systems and market demands. Environmental impacts of these scenarios are assessed, with a particular focus on biodiversity and climate impacts.
