Biography
I am part of the coordinating team for Norway's national greenhouse gas inventory for the Land Use, Land-Use Changes, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector under the UNFCCC and EU. My work includes calculating and reporting carbon emissions and removals for the LULUCF sector and contributing to projects that analyze the coherence and effects of national and international policies on land use, including drivers, correlations, and outcomes. I have experience in risk and uncertainty analysis, long-term planning in the forest sector, and evaluating payment for ecosystem services schemes. My expertise includes LULUCF, climate change, carbon accounting, policy analysis, and risk and uncertainty analysis.

Key messages: Multifunctionality should serve as a guiding principle for forest governance and investment, complementing production and conservation objectives. To operationalise this vision, three guiding principles should inform EU and national policies: • Plan and manage at the landscape level balancing production, biodiversity, climate adaptation and social needs in complementary ways. Policies should support a diversity of management practices. • Align sectoral policies to ensure coherence between forestry, energy, biodiversity, climate and social objectives. • Reward and support multifunctionality explicitly through advisory programmes, certification systems, and financial mechanisms that recognise and support diverse management practices.
