Natural capital investment
Demand for forest products, and thus for fibre and logs, is driven by several macro trends; global demand for wood is increasing steadily. Based on long-term historical data, wood prices have increased over inflation rate. Forest product demand and price trends are positive for forest investment, with considerable regional and country variations.
Demand for forest services, such as biodiversity and climate change mitigation, is increasing.
