An article in the journal Science (volume 391, number 6788, page 851) is devoted to joint counting of trees in the EU under the title "Counting trees together in the EU". He proposes the creation of a common system for counting trees in European countries, which would be feasible within 2 to 3 years. This system would require states to treat their forests not just as national, but as common. It would help better meet the EU's climate goals and support global efforts to protect forests. The article emphasizes the need for cooperation between member states on accurate monitoring of forest resources.[4]
