The article describes drought and pest pressure on Swiss forests, tree lines shifting hundreds of metres upward by 2100, and a gradual move from conifers to broadleaf species in the lowlands. A forester explains how mixed stands are managed for resilience.
Timber Finance features in the piece, backed by the Migros Pioneer Fund, arguing that hardwood should be built with rather than burned. That argument - storing carbon in buildings rather than releasing it - is the basis of Timber Carbon's certification work.
