Targets of sustainable development are implemented, among other things, by the State Forests, i.e. carrying on forest management according to the principles of universal forest protection, durability, their maintenance, continuity and sustainable use of all the functions of forests and expansion of forest resources. Forest management should be carried out while minimizing the economic risk that accompanies each economic activity.

The layout and content of the study was subordinated to the realization of goals. Due to the limited article volume, only certain aspects of State Forests were presented, as an area of risk in the economy of sustainable development.
