Description
New policy paper published by WoodPoP; new webinar on forest management and climate change hosted by TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS; new series of IUFRO Podcast on IUFRO Divisions.
The European Wood Policy Platform WoodPoP high-level representatives recently adopted the policy paper entitled “A Wood-Based Circular Bioeconomy for a Sustainable Europe”. The policy paper provides a solid foundation for political decision-makers. It contains a joint commitment to an economically valuable, ecologically sensitive and socially responsible timber industry, which is a crucial piece in the mosaic for achieving climate targets.
In the latest webinar hosted by TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS (TU4F), Florian Kraxner and Andrey Krasovskiy (IIASA), and Manfred Lexer (BOKU University) presented the impacts of climate change on forests and strategies for adaptation. Industry perspectives were shared by Karoliina Niemi (Finnish Forest Industries Federation) and Jessica Nordin (Södra), focusing on sustainable forest management and adaptive approaches.
The second season of Branching out: the forest podcast focuses on the IUFRO Divisions, starting with Division 1 Silviculture. IUFRO Podcast host Jose Bolaños and his co-host for this episode, Alexander Watson from IFSA, welcomed the two co-coordinators of Division 1 as guest speakers: Pil Sun Park, Seoul National University, Republic of Korea; and Teresa De Jesus Fidalgo Fonseca, Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Portugal.
