This study is based on a number of short visits to Moldova and on a number of background studies undertaken during the implementation of both phases of the European neighborhood and partnership instrument (ENPI) east countries, forest law enforcement and governance (FLEG) program. The WB CPS for Moldova recognizes that the forestry sector plays an important role for competitiveness and climate change but has not received the attention it deserves. This FPN builds on previous work within the forestry sector. It aims to inform the WB project formulation process and the forestry sector by reviewing the sector and highlighting the main policy issues and identifying possible actions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAFFORESTATION ACTIVITIESAFFORESTATION PROJECTSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LAND USEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREALTERNATIVE ENERGYARABLE LANDASHBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIODIVERSITY ENHANCEMENTBIODIVERSITY STRATEGYBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYBIOMASS ENERGYBIOMASS USEBOTANYCALCULATIONCARBONCARBON MARKETCARBON REMOVALCARBON SEQUESTRATIONCARBON STOCKSCHEMICALSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCOMMUNITY FORESTCOMMUNITY FORESTRYCOMMUNITY FORESTSCONIFERSCULTIVATIONDEFORESTATIONDEGRADED FORESTSDEGRADED LANDDEGRADED LANDSDEMAND FOR WOODDROUGHTDROUGHTSECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLESECOLOGYECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC VALUEECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENTECOSYSTEM SERVICESEMISSIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSEMISSIONS TARGETSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL FACTORSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL SERVICESENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGYENVIRONMENTSEROSIONEXPENDITURESFIRE WOODFIREWOODFISHERMENFODDERFORESTFOREST ACTIVITIESFOREST ADMINISTRATIONFOREST AGENCYFOREST AREAFOREST AREASFOREST AUTHORITIESFOREST AUTHORITYFOREST BIOMASSFOREST CERTIFICATIONFOREST CODEFOREST COMMUNITYFOREST COMPANIESFOREST COVERFOREST CRIMESFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST DEVELOPMENTFOREST ECOSYSTEMFOREST ECOSYSTEMSFOREST ENTERPRISEFOREST FIRESFOREST GENETIC RESOURCESFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST GROWTHFOREST INSTITUTIONSFOREST LANDFOREST LAWFOREST LAW ENFORCEMENTFOREST LEGISLATIONFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNINGFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANSFOREST MONITORINGFOREST ORGANIZATIONSFOREST OWNERFOREST OWNERSFOREST POLICYFOREST PROPERTIESFOREST RESEARCHFOREST RESOURCEFOREST RESOURCE USEFOREST RESOURCESFOREST SECTORFOREST SECTOR DEVELOPMENTFOREST SITEFOREST STEWARDSHIPFOREST VEGETATIONFORESTERSFORESTRYFORESTRY ACTIVITIESFORESTRY COMPANIESFORESTRY DEVELOPMENTFORESTRY INSTITUTIONSFORESTRY ISSUESFORESTRY LEGISLATIONFORESTRY PRODUCTSFORESTRY RESEARCHFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEGHGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHUNTINGHUNTING AREASHYDROLOGYILLEGAL HUNTINGLAKESLAND AREALAND DEGRADATIONLAND FOR AFFORESTATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND PROTECTIONLAND RESOURCESLAND-USELAND-USE CHANGELANDSCAPELOGGINGLOSS OF BIODIVERSITYLOW-CARBONMANAGED FORESTSNATIONAL FOREST FUNDNATIONAL FOREST INVENTORYNATIONAL FOREST RESOURCENATIONAL FOREST RESOURCESNATIONAL FOREST STRATEGYNATIONAL FORESTRYNATURAL RESERVESNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESPASTURESPLANTINGPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPPPRECIPITATIONPRESENT VALUEPRIVATE FORESTSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPUBLIC FOREST MANAGEMENTPURCHASING POWERRAINRAINFALLREGENERATIONRESEARCH AGENDASCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSILVICULTURESOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL EROSIONSTATE FORESTSTATE FOREST ENTERPRISESSTATE FORESTRYSTATE FORESTRY ENTERPRISESSTATE FORESTSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE FORESTRYSUSTAINABLE LANDSUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE LEVELSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTSSUSTAINABLE UTILIZATIONTEMPERATURETHUNDERSTORMSTIMBERTIMBER FOREST PRODUCTSTIMBER PROCESSINGTIMBER PRODUCTSTIMBER SALESTREE SPECIESTREESURBAN AREASWAGESWATER QUALITYWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWILDLIFEWOODWOOD ENERGYWOOD HARVESTINGWOOD PROCESSINGWOOD PRODUCTIONWOOD PRODUCTSWOOD RESOURCESWOOD SUPPLYWOODLANDSWOODY BIOMASS10.1596/21276
