The paper on ‘Youth position on the future of Europe’s forests’ recognises the increasing need to include youth at national and sub-national policymaking levels in Europe. Collaborations between the youth and Forest Europe underline the substantial contributions young people bring to high-level policy discussions, providing them with meaningful opportunities to have their voices heard.
