本論文は、森林の気候緩和効果を評価するための新しい指標である逆炭素フットプリント（ICF）と木材フットプリント（WF）を提案する。ポーランドの1999年から2021年のデータを用いて、森林面積の増加が鈍化しCO2吸収の限界利益が減少する一方、木材生産と輸出が増加していることを示す。EUの炭素会計と循環経済への統合の必要性を強調する。
English
This paper introduces two complementary metrics—Inverted Carbon Footprint (ICF) and Wood Footprint (WF)—to assess forest-based climate performance. Using Polish national data (1999-2021) and European comparisons, it finds that while forest area expands, afforestation rates decline, reducing marginal CO2 absorption gains, while timber production and exports rise. The authors call for harmonized indicators to integrate forest metrics into EU carbon accounting and circular economy frameworks.

日本のGX文脈において
日本では、森林吸収源の評価やカーボンニュートラル戦略に関連する。ただし、ポーランドの事例であり、日本の森林政策やJ-クレジット制度との直接的な関連は限定的。それでも、森林の炭素吸収と木材利用のバランスを評価する指標は、日本の森林管理やカーボンオフセットの議論に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global climate disclosure scholarship by proposing standardized footprint indicators for forest-based climate performance, relevant to EU carbon accounting and circular economy goals. It offers a methodological framework that could inform international efforts to integrate land-use and forestry metrics into climate reporting and policy.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Forests are central to climate change mitigation, serving both as natural carbon sinks and as renewable resources within the bioeconomy. However, the effectiveness of forests in contributing to emission reduction and climate policy goals remains difficult to quantify due to limited and fragmented indicators. This paper introduces two complementary metrics—the Inverted Carbon Footprint (ICF) and the Wood Footprint (WF)—designed to assess the absorptive and material dimensions of forest–climate interactions. Using national data for Poland (1999–2021) and comparative European sources, the study evaluates trends in forest area expansion, timber harvesting, and wood product utilisation. Results indicate that although Poland’s total forest area continues to increase, the rate of afforestation is declining, leading to diminishing marginal gains in CO₂ absorption. Conversely, rising timber production and exports suggest a high wood footprint relative to the EU average, reflecting both the economic strength and the material intensity of Poland’s forest sector. The findings underscore the dual challenge of sustaining carbon sequestration capacity while managing growing industrial demand. The paper highlights the need for harmonised data systems and standardised footprint indicators to integrate forest-based metrics into EU carbon accounting and circular economy frameworks. Strengthening such tools can enhance evidence-based policymaking and support the transition toward low-carbon, resource-efficient forest management in Europe.
