These include options to enhance knowledge base and awareness, enhance and protect the forest resources for climate change adaptation, and improve potential for sustainable use of forest resource. Many of the options are envisaged in the Plan ‘Strategic for the Development of the Forestry Sector in the Republic of Bulgaria 2014–2023’ and the further development of these adaptation options should be in coordination with the delivery of this plan. A summary of forestry adaptation option is given in Table 5. Table 5. Summary of forestry sector adaptation options Strategic Objective Type of Option Examples Research, education, and Create a National Forestry Extension Service Enhance knowledge extension and a system for dissemination of results base and awareness for Model potential performance of important climate change Research to support tree species under different climate change adaptation adaptation scenarios and timescales Resilience in regenerating, expanding, and Enhance forest nursery capacity Bulgaria’s strengthening the forest and system for seed collection and storage resource Maintenance of Enhance and protect biodiversity, genetic Measures to limit potential of invasive the forest resources diversity, and forest species to enter forest ecosystems resilience Build national system for rapid fire detection Management of forest and response to this and other natural resources calamities Improving the potential for Review and expand current building long-term use of standards to improve the position of wood as Improving potential for wood products a material sustainable use of forest Improving potential for Establish a program to promote the resource sustainable and more installation of modern energy and heat environmentally friendly production systems for households,
