BNP Paribas Asset Management – A balancing act – Investing in sustainable forestry while safeguarding biodiversity
17 Mar 2025
While the idea of natural capital and nature-based solutions is spreading amongst the investment community, the initial focus has been on a forest’s ability to sequester and store carbon. However, few investors know what sustainable forest management seeks to achieve, and why it can indeed be one of the answers to safeguarding biodiversity.
Given that global demand for timber is expected to increase to where it could exceed supply by as soon as 2040, sourcing wood from responsibly managed forests is critical.
Managing a forest sustainably means ensuring their long-term health and productivity and considering the environmental, social, and economic needs of today’s and future generations.
