PROTECTION OF PRIVATE FORESTS IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: The discussion will focus on the formation of legal protection of private forests from a multifaceted perspective. Today, private forests in Poland occupy about 19% of the total forest area and are an important element of the country’s ecological and economic security. They also play a key role in resolving the ongoing climate crisis. However, private forests in Poland face a number of problems. In the face of climate challenges, loss of biodiversity, and forest degradation, the protection of public forest resources and those in private hands after increasing the number of legal instruments is insufficient. In the coming years, one of the biggest challenges for forestry will be to participate in the efforts to reduce climate change, as well as to adapt to it and cope with its effects.
