Some numbers.

In order to eliminate the need for all (incl CA) softwood lumber imports to fill gap to get to US consumption of > 55 BBFT :
1 - all existing US mills would have to get to and maintain 95% capacity
2 - build about 100 new 100 MBFT mills

3-4 yrs optimistic

Teamwork and Duty: Building a Unified Fire Response in Iceland
Captain Eyjólfur Óli Jónsson from the Fire Department Brunavarnir Árnessýslu highlights the importance of unity, shared strategy, and international cooperation in wildfire risk management. He feels that collaboration and community duty should drive Iceland’s evolving approach to fire management. These interviews were conducted during the In-Country Wildfire Risk Management Training, organized by FoRISK (hosted by the European Forest Institute) and the Icelandic Civil Protection under the project “Towards an Integrated Wildfire Risk Management in Iceland”, implemented as part of the Technical Assistance Financing Facility (TAFF) by the World Bank and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), with funding from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO). 👉 More info in this blogpost: https://forisk.org/when-fire-meets-ice-icelands-unexpected-wildfire-challenge/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNmtwNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHon9PhNgf0X4BR9KJ7gGAQoukoPZRKkj9YWHhYTR4PI3vRkXBiP7kpzINyon_aem_RLJ6Knpn-f-GXnch9dUrEg @GFDRR @WorldBank @EUcrisisresponse

Send your input today to the public consultation by the @ec.europa.eu on the European climate resilience and risk management – integrated framework. For the forests I would love the EC to cooperate closely with the FoRISK by Forest Europe.
