The use of the European Agriculture and Rural Development Fund (EARDF) requires that at least 30 percent of the budget allocated for rural development as part of the National Rural Development Plan (NRDP) be spent on the environment and addressing climate change. The forest sector rapid assessment reviews key issues in the forest sector to determine how the sector can contribute to mitigating and adapting to climate change. The assessment reviews the sector ministries measures for the 2014-2020 structural operational programs (SOPs) and NRDP to determine whether they are climate positive. The latter is an important condition for using EU structural cohesion funds (SCF) for 2014-2020. The assessment identifies operational programs and sector plans that can support the climate change objectives and fulfill the EU ex ante conditionalities for the SCF (2014-2020). The assessment also provides a basis for refining the measures in order to respond to the climate change requirement. The reimbursable advisory service phase will involve more in-depth work on the sector, offering more specific recommendations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONAFFORESTATIONAFFORESTATION EFFORTSAFFORESTATION PROJECTSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL WASTEAGRICULTUREAIRAIR TEMPERATUREALTITUDEANIMAL SPECIESARABLE LANDAREA OF FORESTAREAS OF FORESTASHATMOSPHEREBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIODIVERSITY PROTECTIONBIOMASSBIOMASS ENERGYBIOSPHEREBIRD SPECIESBUSINESS AS USUAL SCENARIOCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON ECONOMYCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON POOLSCARBON SEQUESTRATIONCARBON SINKCARBON SINKSCARBON STOCKSCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOCO2CONIFEROUS FORESTSCONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITYCONSTRUCTIONCROPLANDCULTIVATIONDATA COLLECTIONDEGRADATION OF FORESTSDEGRADED AREASDEGRADED ECOSYSTEMSDEGRADED LANDDEGRADED LANDSDEMAND FOR TIMBERDESERTIFICATIONDEVELOPMENT OF FORESTSDROUGHTDROUGHTSECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENTEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION TRADINGEMISSION TRADING SYSTEMEMISSIONSENDANGERED SPECIESENERGY MIXESTIMATES OF CARBONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXOTIC SPECIESFERTILIZERSFIREWOODFISHERIESFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOODINGFLOODSFODDERFORESTFOREST ADMINISTRATIONFOREST ADMINISTRATIONSFOREST AREAFOREST AREASFOREST ASSOCIATIONSFOREST AUTHORITIESFOREST BIODIVERSITYFOREST COMPANIESFOREST CONDITIONSFOREST COVERFOREST COVERAGEFOREST DEVELOPMENTFOREST ECOSYSTEMSFOREST FIRESFOREST FUNDFOREST GROWTHFOREST HEALTHFOREST INDUSTRYFOREST INFRASTRUCTUREFOREST INSPECTORATESFOREST INSTITUTEFOREST INVENTORYFOREST LANDFOREST LAND RESTITUTIONFOREST LANDSFOREST LEGISLATIONFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNINGFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANSFOREST MANAGERSFOREST OWNERFOREST OWNERSFOREST OWNERS ASSOCIATIONFOREST OWNERSHIPFOREST PLOTSFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST PROTECTIONFOREST RESEARCHFOREST RESOURCEFOREST RESOURCE MANAGEMENTFOREST RESOURCESFOREST RESTITUTIONFOREST ROADSFOREST SECTORFOREST SOILSFOREST SPECIESFOREST STANDFOREST STANDSFOREST STRATEGYFOREST SYSTEMSFOREST VEGETATIONFORESTRYFORESTRY PLANNINGFORESTRY PRODUCTSFORESTRY RESEARCHFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFOSSIL FUELSFRESHWATERGEOGRAPHIC AREASGHGGHGSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESGROUND CARBONGROWING SEASONHUMIDITYHUNTINGHYDROLOGICAL REGIMEINVASIVE SPECIESINVERTEBRATESIPCCLAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND AREALAND AREASLAND DEGRADATIONLAND OWNERSHIPLAND RECLAMATIONLAND REFORMLAND RESTITUTIONLAND USELAND USE CHANGELOGGINGLOW-CARBONMEADOWSMETEOROLOGYMOUNTAINSNATIONAL FOREST AREANATIONAL FOREST AUTHORITYNATIONAL FOREST INVENTORYNATIONAL FORESTRYNATIONAL PARKSNATURAL FORESTSNATURAL HABITATSNATURAL REGENERATIONNEGATIVE IMPACTNUTRIENTSORGANIC CHEMICALSPARKSPASTURESPHPLAINSPLANTATIONSPLANTINGPRECIPITATIONPRIMARY FORESTSPRIVATE FORESTSRAINRAINFALLREFORESTATIONREGENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGYSANDY SOILSSAWMILLINGSECONDARY FORESTSSEEDLING PRODUCTIONSILVERSOIL EROSIONSOLAR RADIATIONSPECIES COMPOSITIONSTATE FORESTSTATE FORESTSSTATE ­ FORESTSSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTSTEMPERATE FORESTTEMPERATE FOREST SOILSTEMPERATE FORESTSTEMPERATURETIMBERTIMBER FOREST PRODUCTSTIMBER HARVESTINGTIMBER SALESTOPOGRAPHYTREE SPECIESTREESWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWEATHER CONDITIONSWETLANDWETLANDSWINDWIND SPEEDWOODWOOD FURNITUREWOOD INDUSTRYWOOD PROCESSINGWOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRYWOOD PRODUCTSWOOD WASTEWOOD WASTESWOODY BIOMASSWOODY SPECIES10.1596/17570
