Climate change will have important effects on forests and forestry in France. Other effects will be brought by public policies in charge of climate change adaptation and mitigation, which have already taken place in France, in Europe and in the world. These different effects are reviewed, and their consequences on sustainable forest management are analysed. Finally, a new systemic approach of forests and their products is proposed, a “cascade approach” from the seedling to the boiler, in order to optimize their ecological, economical and social benefits in producing wood, renewable materials and, finally, renewable energy.
