FERN: providing high quality information on forest-related EU policy

Producing high quality information forms the cornerstone of FERN's activities. Throughout each year, often in collaboration with our NGO partners, we produce a series of  Reports, Briefings and Articles on key forest issues. Our reports present the findings of rigorous research and critical analysis - our key areas of expertise. Meanwhile our briefings and articles provide jargon-free introductions to forest-related EU policies or present useful analyses of key topics and processes to aid effective campaigning on forest issues.

We also produce two regular newsletters: our monthly  EU Forest Watch brings the latest news on forest policy straight from Brussels, while the quarterly  EC Platform News keeps you up-to -date on the latest news, debates and resources related to EU Development policy and aid.

Finally our  Press Releases and  NGO statements will keep you informed of major publications and campaign events, as well as on current joint positions on key campaign issues.

To find the publications that interest you, either use the drop down menu on the top for all publications related to a specific issue, or the menu on the left to search for a particular type of publication.
