In the article authors present a new model to increase the understanding of the wood products’ (throughout the forest-based industrial ecosystem) potential contribution to reaching the emissions targets. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of diverse optimisation outcomes obtained from the investigation into climate action through the use of wood products in Slovenia.
