Indicators
A set of 35 Improved Pan-European Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management was adopted in 2002 by an Expert Level meeting of the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE). More details for each indicator are in a background information document, and another document gives details of definitions. These improved indicators are available on the MCPFE website.
Reporting
The next round of reporting on State of Europe's Forests is in 2010-2011. A draft UK report was published in June 2010, with a revised version approved in August 2010. It includes a new assessment of Protected and Protective Forest Areas in the UK.
For the previous round of reporting in 2006-2007, final draft UK data for most of the pan-European indicators were submitted in December 2006, in an Enquiry on MCPFE Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management. The country data, including data from international organisations, were published in November 2007 in State of Europe's Forests 2007, and are available through an interactive database. The UNECE website Reporting on sustainable forest management 2007 includes links to all the country reports for the quantitative indicators and for the qualitative indicators on policies and institutions.
State of Europe's Forests 2003 was an earlier MCPFE report on sustainable forest management in Europe, based on the previous set of pan-European indicators, updating statistics collected in the Forest Resources Assessment 2000.
