El presente estudio se centró en identificar las brechas que existen en relación al conocimiento del cambio climático, sus impactos y oportunidades, así como identificar sus potencialidades y restricciones como una alternativa a la Bioeconomía. Se utilizó el método cualitativo, con la técnica de encuesta y cuestionarios. Se desarrolló un modelo de entrevistas, cuyo universo, tuvo por objeto la selección de tres tipos de poblaciones: Las Empresas Privadas, Instituciones de Educación Superior: Profesores y / o administradores y tomadores de decisiones de estas instituciones, las Instituciones Públicas y Organizaciones no Gubernamentales. Los resultados evidencia la necesidad de investigación y transferencia de tecnología. El sector privado otorga mayor prioridad a reducir costos e incrementar eficiencia, el aumento de la rentabilidad y retención de clientes en relación a responder eficazmente a las amenazas y oportunidades del cambio climático, lo que indica que existe una brecha de conocimientos en relación a los impactos y oportunidades que ofrece el cambio climático, mientras que en la docencia se observó que, existe una abundante formación de maestrías relacionadas con la temática medioambiental, sin embargo los cursos que se imparten en las universidades sobre cambio climático son muy escasos y no existe un programa nacional de formación de postgrados en cambio climático y sólo el 58% de los docentes entrevistados realizan tareas de investigación. En las instituciones públicas y ONG opinan que es baja la frecuencia de acceso a becas, la fuente de conocimientos sobre cambio climático muy frecuentemente utilizada por los docentes e investigadores es internet.

“…For countries that have their own BE strategy, it was a qualitative analysis of these documents, similar to the concept of De Besi and McCormick (2015). For states that do not have their own strategy, BE-related documents were considered (similarly to Lovrić et al, 2021). These were official policy documents in which a connection with the concept of BE was noted (both explicitly and implicitly).…”

“…The majority of authors include tourism among other concepts, e.g. the concept of forest-based BE (Hurmekoski et al, 2019;Lovrić et al, 2021;Luhas et al, 2021) while some national concepts of tourism connect this industry with rural development (e.g. Czech or Romanian).…”

Tourism has experienced dynamic development in recent decades and has become one of the fastest growing industries; however, the COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented changes and declines in revenues and tourism trends. With the strong support of bioeconomy (BE) this period brings a great opportunity to transform the entire tourism sector into a model responding to that concept. The main aim of this article is to prove whether and under what possible conditions tourism is a part of the concept of BE. Selected European Union (EU) countries have been chosen so that every geographical area is represented. This analysis was therefore carried out for a total of 12 states and the EU as a whole (13 entities). Of these 13 entities, seven have their own BE strategy and six do not. According to the level of emphasis on the field of tourism in the examined documents, we divided the states into three categories. Although the selected and analysed countries mention tourism in their BE strategies with various emphasis and approach, the inclusion of tourism under this concept is evident. Bioeconomy-based tourism has been designed as a new concept that considers the approach of BE. It focuses above all on a sustainable level of tourism in the connection of economic and environmental pillars, where the main emphasis is placed on the effective use of natural resources and maximum effort not to waste these resources, as well as to support economic growth.

“…This step was applied to Italy, Finland, and Germany and included the explicit mention of FBE activities in the respective strategies. In the second step (Czechia and Slovakia), the bioeconomy-related documents were analysed (similarly to Lovrić et al [77]). These are official policy documents in which the topic of the FBE can be identified (both explicitly and implicitly).…”

“…For the countries that have their own strategy, the main source was the relevant official strategy. For the countries without a specific strategy, documents closely related to the field of the bioeconomy, the use of natural resources (both explicitly and implicitly), etc., were used for the analysis [77]. For the given countries, scientific publications focusing on the bioeconomy in the given country were also used.…”

Forest Bioeconomy from the Perspectives of Different EU Countries and Its Potential for Measuring Sustainability

The globally accepted concept of a bioeconomy includes the field of forestry; however, the concept of a forest bioeconomy (FBE) does not appear to be defined uniformly. The concepts of bioeconomy and sustainable development are interlinked. In many countries, the bioeconomy is often the subject of efforts to quantify it from the state level, and therefore, the question arises as to whether the data regarding the financial support of an FBE in individual countries can be considered mutually comparable, with the aim of including them, for example, among the criteria for measuring sustainability (e.g., indicators of sustainable development—SDI). This option has political implications for political representation, taking the form of a comparable indicator in the approaches of individual states. This article analytically compares FBEs and our understanding of them in selected countries: Czechia, Slovakia, Finland, Italy, and Germany. Czechia financially supports various areas of forestry through European funds (Rural Development Programme, RDP CZ). In this article, we assess this support from the point of view of the perceptions of the FBE in the studied states, with an emphasis on the view of Czechia. First, an FBE analysis of the selected official and supporting documents of the studied countries was performed. The total financial data from the supported projects from the RDP CZ were subsequently assigned to these areas. Thus, the idea of financial support for the FBE through the RDP CZ from the perspectives of the selected countries was born. The differences in the perception of the FBE according to the description derived from the analysis were also confirmed by the different financial quantifications (hypothetical) of these different views. The obtained results demonstrate an incomparable state of perception of the FBE among the selected countries. For these reasons, it is currently inappropriate to use the level of FBE financial support to measure sustainability.
