The title: Journey to the center of the wood The date of publication: 21st January 2020 Authors: Mr Luis García Esteban Main themes: Forest engineering Nature of publication: Inauguration as full member academician Report availability (link, paper version...): Link, paper. The current production of wood in the world is about 3,800 million cubic meters, of which 50% is used as fuel (it is estimated that about 2,400 million people use wood as fuel to cover their basic needs such as cooking, boiling water or heating) and the other 50% becomes part of what is known as industrial roundwood, that is, the wood that feeds the first transformation production lines and cellulose pulp. Right now, it contributes 1% of the world's GDP, not including second transformation (furniture and carpentry). http://www.raing.es/es/publicaciones/discursos-de-ingresos/viaje-al-centro-de-la-madera

In accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement the Swedish ambition is to become climate neutral by 2045. However, the investments that are made today are not enough - Sweden will not achieve its climate goals at the current rate of development. With the project Choices for the climate, IVA wants to contribute with a holistic perspective on the climate issue to help decision-makers weigh up different alternatives, while at the same time strengthening Swedish competitiveness. IVA focuses on the following questions: What technical measures are required on a system level, to meet the climate targets? How much more electricity and biomass are needed to replace fossil energy and fossil resources? And how should politics work to achieve the climate goals? The project's summary report, “How Sweden will reach its climate goals”, is based on other reports, studies and public statistics already published. Seven main strategies that IVA has identified for Sweden to achieve its climate goals are outlined, including the need for more international cooperation, the need to share and mitigate economic risks so that the necessary technology shifts can be made, and the need to ensure access to electricity and a secure electricity system. The report is available in Swedish.

The study "Greenhouse gas emissions in the agri-food system and the carbon footprint of food in Spain", which began in the last academic year, has continued to be developed. It is estimated that all stages of the "agri-food system" are responsible for 27% of global anthropogenic GGE emissions. http://www.raing.es/es/publicaciones/libros/emisiones-de-gases-efecto-invernadero-en-el-sistema-agroalimentario-y-huella-de
