      abstract     = {The pulp and paper industry (PPI) is an integral part of
                      the bioeconomy, achieving remarkable recycling rates and
                      implementing circular value chains, especially across wide
                      parts of Europe. However, the sector’s circular
                      characteristics have not automatically led to increased
                      sustainability across all sustainability dimensions.
                      Substantial challenges remain, including high energy and
                      water demand in production processes, and significant land
                      and water use for fiber production. Achieving the
                      Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) thus requires
                      far-reaching interventions.For the sector to become
                      future-proof, major adaptations are currently explored and
                      initiated in multiple areas, e.g., through the introduction
                      of alternative fibers and new production processes driven by
                      technological innovations. These will lead to system changes
                      on various levels, the effects of which on the overall
                      system are unclear. Understanding these effects is vital in
                      order to facilitate progress towards the SDGs. Using the
                      German PPI as a best-practice case study, the FiberSysTain
                      project builds its analytical approach on a holistic
                      monitoring framework to understand the dynamics triggered by
                      simultaneous changes at multiple junctures. Subsequently,
                      the dynamics of the PPI will be translated into a system
                      dynamics model, which will then allow for the prospective
                      analysis of sustainability impacts.Results will provide
                      stakeholders and decision-makers with actionable insights
                      and recommendations to support long-term planning and policy
                      development. From a scientific perspective, the project will
                      enhance system knowledge at a level applicable to other
                      bioeconomy sectors. Societally, it will provide crucial
                      information for identifying and preventing undesirable
                      developments at an early stage. From an economic
                      perspective, the findings will support strategy development
                      aimed at strengthening the sector’s resilience and
                      understanding the potential impacts of technological
                      innovations.},
