Abstract
Annual review of Swiss forest policy 2018 Besides important personnel changes, Swiss forest policy in 2018 was marked by implementation tasks at the federal administrative level. In comparison to the previous year, the number of parliamentary initiatives slightly increased. These initiatives addressed not only the recurrent topics of Swiss wood and timber industry, but also forest protection. Beyond the classic forest cases, the Federal Court tackled a new topic this year: forest organization. The forest-relevant policies experienced important debates, without yet binding decisions. For instance, the revision of the Federal Law on Nature and Cultural Heritage and its weakening of the Federal Commission for the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage assessment remains controversial after the consultation period.
