BURNING FORESTS IS NOT THE SOLUTION. GREEN IMPACT, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CLIENT EARTH AND FERN, LAUNCHES A GUIDE ON IMPLEMENTING THE 2023 RENEWABLE ENERGY DIRECTIVE TO MINIMIZE THE USE OF FOREST BIOMASS

Green Impact, together with the organizations Fern and Client Earth, has launched a guide titled “Un uso più saggio del legno”, the Italian version of the English guide “Wiser with wood” published in November 2023 by Fern and Client Earth. The guide analyzes the legal requirements of RED III for woody biomass, outlines opportunities for Member States to improve the transposition of the Directive, and proposes strategies to protect forests, the climate, public health, and wood-dependent industrial sectors.

Forests are under attack – the EU is burning world forests for producing Energy.

The tragedy of the common good ‘forests’ is promoted by the EU Directive on Renewable Energies.

Discover why burning forests for energy use is anachronistic, against sustainability and public morality, it breaches EU international commitments as well as causes high risks.

to public health and it pollutes the atmosphere.

The solution is the protection and the restoration of forests.

In the EU and other countries forests are being burned for the production of energy (wood biomass) which is defined as renewable energy – but it is a fake – the burning, and the consequent  biodiversity loss are increasing the  manmade environmental impacts on the planet  – wood biomass should  therefore  be removed from the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
