This December 2005 report claims the best way for the industry to reduce emissions is through technological innovation and accelerated capital stock turnover. The report illustrates that the connections between the forest products industry and the global carbon cycle are complex, and hastily enacted climate change policies may have unintended consequences on the industry. Moreover, the industry is capital intensive, with very long-lived capital equipment. Long planning horizons are therefore one of the most difficult challenges facing this industry, according to the report.
