April 2026
Author: Erik Reichmuth, Investment Advisor
The Timber Finance Carbon Capture & Storage Index faced a challenging first quarter of 2026. Geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates, and weak construction activity continued to put pressure on many companies across the timber and construction industries. At the same time, structural developments are increasingly emerging that could strengthen the sector over the long term.
These include the growing regulatory recognition of embodied carbon in the built environment, the increasing role of timber as a long-term carbon storage solution, and new policy incentives supporting sustainable construction. Together, these trends reinforce the long-term relevance of biobased building materials and carbon-storing construction methods.
The market report provides insights into the current development of the Timber Finance CC&S Index, analyzes key macroeconomic drivers, and highlights perspectives across the international timber and construction industries.
