“…To this end, various strategies and agreements have been implemented to manage natural resources and sustainably improve their quality and status, such as Agenda 21, the Paris Agreement, and the Convention on Biological Diversity, among other legally binding international agreements. These treaties usually include tools such as economic instruments (EIs) to achieve the proposed objectives, improve the efficiency in allocating resources for sustainable development, and promote sustainable production and consumption models [4][5][6][7]. However, inadequate implementation and management of some EIs, such as subsidies and taxes, that were developed to improve the sustainable management of natural resources on which humans depend to survive have even resulted in adverse effects, such as increased air, water, and soil pollution, loss of biodiversity, and other consequences.…”

Economic instruments are political tools created to promote environmental stewardship by influencing consumption and production patterns, fostering technological innovation, and improving the environment; however, if current failures in their formulation or implementation persist, they can negatively impact the environment and society. This research aims to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of economic instruments by extracting these aspects from the forest policy documents of the EU, Austria, and the Czech Republic using the qualitative content analysis method. It has been found that the EU channels its resources from economic instruments through various financing programs that make distribution more effective and align with the environmental objectives of the EU. Additionally, the SWOT analysis indicates that the economic instruments applied in the EU present significant differences in the application and management of forests and the performance of the financial instruments according to the national strategies and action plans used. These identified challenges, limitations, and improvement areas allow for generating suggestions that policymakers can apply concerning the use, implementation, dissemination, and access processes of financing mechanisms for sustainable forest management in the European Union.
