Abstract

The main objective of the present Swiss National Forest Programme is to guarantee the sustainable forest management and, as a precondition to this, to create favourable framework conditions for an efficient and innovative forest and wood sector. Moreover, with its vision (2030), concrete objectives (2015) and the corresponding strategic directions and measures, the Swiss National Forest Programme aims to optimize the three dimensions of sustainability and to improve the economic and social values of the forest as compared with the relatively high ecological value it already enjoys today. The successful elements of existing Swiss forest policy will continue to be implemented, others will be improved and new ones added. Thus, the changes in the environment of the forest and wood sector, the new challenges and the slow growth of the forest ecosystem will be taken into account.
