WHAT SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS ARE INCLUDED IN TH
E REPORT? Suggestions for methods have been developed to calculate four different types of sustainability indicators: 1. Impact on biodiversity 2. Impact on climate 3. Social aspects, such as the recreational values of the forest 4. Economic aspects, such as the number of jobs, the forest farmer's financial revenue, and macroeconomic aspects. In addition, methodology for transferring the indicators to a comparable, relative scale, based on reference scenarios is described. In this way, it is possible to balance trade-offs between widely differing aspects, such as the climate benefit of the forest compared with its impact on biodiversity. 7 Photo: Emilia Jiménez-Bergmark
