    Abstract:
    The United States and the world underwent immense economic, social and economic change over the ten years since the last Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment, all of which have impacts on production and consumption of forest products. The data in this publication include recent trends (1990-2015) in global and U.S. forest products consumption, production, prices, and net trade. These data also include economic projections (2020-2070) of production, consumption, manufactured product prices, net trade, timber harvest levels, and timber prices, as influenced by four future scenarios regarding economic and population growth, and changing biomass energy demand through 2070. These RPA scenarios pair two alternative climate futures (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs) with four alternative futures (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways or SSPs) in the following combinations of U.S. socioeconomic growth: RCP 4.5 and SSP1 (lower warming-moderate, LM), RCP 8.5 and SSP3 (high warming-low, HL), RCP 8.5 and SSP2 (high warming-moderate, HM), and RCP 8.5 and SSP5 (high warming-high, HH).
