Hierarchical view on survey results on sum of industries and activities (“included”/”partly included”/”not included”) in the bioeconomy sector at national level. The bigger the sector box the higher the sum of countries including an industry and activity at national level. Sectors are defined in the European Classification of Economic Activities (NACE, Rev. 2).

Implementation of the objectives – strategic projects

1. Forest-related information and e-services of the future 2. Land use, planning and zoning in support of the forest-based business and activities 3. Statistics on the renewing forest-based business and activities4. Development of active forest management, entry of timber to the market and forest ownership

structure ….11. Appreciation of Finnish forests

www.metsään.fi “latest information to forest owners on their properties… information is displayed for each forest stand compartment, broken down by soil type, tree type and natural occurrence, and possible logging or forestry actions are suggested, including income and cost estimates. Maps and aerial photographs clearly show where properties are located and what they look like.”

“Strategic project H. New cooperation models between working life and training and education. 2015–2017. The project will develop cooperation models between actors in forest-based business and activities and education and training organisations. The models will be relevant to the contents and marketing of occupations and education and training leading to them, as well as to developing companies’ operations and the associated competence (for example, on-the-job learning, project work, RDI). Quantitative and qualitative anticipation of the education and training needs of forest-based business and activities and, as necessary, qualitative assessments of skills and labour availability will be carried out.”

“local economic benefits are calculated by means of a method developed by Parks & Wildlife Finland and the Natural Resources Institute Finland. This method is based on the MGM2 model developed in the United States for the USDI National Park Service by Michigan State University. The method uses visitation numbers, visitor spending figures and multipliers describing the flow of money in the local economy” (Vatanen & Kajala 2015)

Concluding remarksto be further discussed

1. Socio-economic and governance indicators have to be defined based on the national circumstances (importance of forest sector in a country) and preferably embedded into National strategies.

2. Understanding the user’s needs crucial. Therefore a close co-operation between information/data suppliers and information/data users needed.

3. To reach consistent and comparable results, harmonised statistical systems need to be utilised. For indicators where there is current no information/data available information/data can be gather based on expert inputs/interviews etc.

4. Institutionalising C&I systems requires a close co-operation between statistical authorities and ministries involved.

5. Any other recommendations: keep the barriers low .
