Navigating the Forestry Job Market in Germany: A Personal Perspective As a passionate forestry professional, I've dedicated my career to the stewardship of Germany's vast and diverse forests. While this field offers immense rewards and a deep connection to nature, the job market can be challenging. In this post, I'll share insights from my own experiences and provide tips for navigating the forestry job search in Germany. Facts about Forestry in Germany Forest Coverage: Germany boasts approximately 11.4 million hectares of forests, covering nearly 30% of its land area. Economic Significance: The forestry and timber industry contributes significantly to the German economy, employing over 1.1 million people and generating €100 billion in annual revenue. Sustainability Focus: German forestry practices are guided by sustainability principles, aiming to conserve biodiversity, protect water resources, and ensure future generations can enjoy the benefits of forests. Personal Challenges in Finding a Forestry Job Competition: The forestry sector attracts a diverse range of qualified candidates, creating a competitive job market. Language Barriers: Fluency in German is essential for most forestry positions, posing challenges for non-native speakers. Regional Variations: Forestry practices and job opportunities vary across Germany, requiring adaptability and regional knowledge.

Join us for a webinar showcasing selected forestry sector business opportunities in Zambia on Tuesday 21st November 2023 from 10:00 to 11:30.   The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has through the AGS Programme (Accelerated Growth for SMEs in Zambia in partnership with Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development) conducted a study on forestry sector opportunities in Zambia. This business opportunity publication will be launched on the 21st of November 2023 in a webinar. The online event will be joined by the Minister of Green Economy and Environment of the Republic of Zambia, Hon. Collins Nzovu.   Zambia’s forestry sector presents significant and exciting business opportunities for growth and partnership. The formal and informal forestry sectors account for an estimated 5.2% of Zambia’s GDP, which in monetary terms amounts to an estimated € 1.3 billion. With 49 million hectares of natural forest and woodlands, around 61,000 hectares of plantations, and a small but established formal forestry sector, the sector presents a number of untapped business opportunities.   This study identified six major opportunities of an estimated combined value of over 4 billion Euros: carbon offsets, management of forest resources, non-forest timber products, wooden poles, furniture, paper and pulp, as well as packaging.   Register for the webinar by 17.11.2023 through the link below: https://lnkd.in/dMW-JzpE

Carbon markets - a focus on forestry 🌳 We believe that as part of a carefully considered investment in sustainable productive forestry, investors can gain access to the carbon markets, bringing the opportunity for solid financial returns alongside helping to meet sustainability objectives. In our latest paper, we provide clarity on various #carbonmarkets around the world and illustrate the current and potential role of forestry towards solving the global #climate challenge. This includes insights on the markets specific to individual countries and, in particular, from our experience in the UK, Australia and New Zealand to offer our thoughts on the opportunities and challenges facing the #forestry sector.

We have just written a detailed paper on the carbon markets which I hope is useful. Please see below for further information and details on how to download it.

In a landmark move two months ahead of COP 28, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (“MOEF”) cemented a pivotal Ministerial Decree No. SK.1027/MENLHK/PHL.KUM.1/9/2023 concerning Forestry Sector Carbon Trade Roadmap, shaping the future of carbon trading within the forestry sector. This decree ushers in the 'Forestry Roadmap,' a strategic document designed to steer carbon trading activities towards a regulated and sustainable framework (“Forestry Roadmap”). This ARMA Update delves into the essence of this roadmap, highlighting its anticipated impact on environmental stewardship, adherence to legal standards, and the broader forestry industry. It provides an essential primer for all stakeholders, including industry participants, legal entities, and policy architects, empowering them to navigate the intricacies of this evolving regulatory landscape.

The Government of Indonesia finally issued the roadmap for carbon trading in the Forestry Sector. This roadmap is critically essential for the rule of thumb of carbon trading in the forestry sector, i.e. the criteria and requirements for related entities interested in participating in this market and types of collaboration in international carbon trading in the forestry sector.

Something the forestry industry has been all too aware of for a good number of years. There is an aging demographic in staff engaged in the industry and it is clear that there will be a shortfall in candidates to fill roles that are going to be left vacant, not to mention any additional roles that may arise. There needs to be a concerted effort to inform the younger population that it can be a rewarding and worthwhile career with good prospects.

The Romanian Government announced the opening of the funding session destined to support the acquisition of modern forestry equipment in June 2024! 40 million euro are pinned for 2024, in an effort to increase both the efficiency and the quality of the harvesting activity. Are you interested in entering this market, strengthening your position on it or foreseeing the flow of new and used equipment in South-East and Central Europe in near future? We have produced a comprehensive Report on the Romanian harvesting sector, analysing not only the wood resources, harvested volumes and the harvesting and transport costs, but also the most important forestry equipment manufacturers and dealers active in the country.
