FAO

  • UNECE/FAO outlook study: possible scenarios for the future of European forests. – Europeans have high expectations of their forests which must meet increasing and sometimes conflicting environmental, social and economic demands. Policy makers must balance the conservation of biodiversity, the need to sequester and store carbon, adaptation to a changing climate and the provision of opportunities for recreation and leisure, while also supplying wood for energy and raw material use. The European Forest Sector Outlook Study II (EFSOS II), which covers the EU 27, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, provides pictures of the consequences of today's policy choices for the forest of tomorrow. "Policy makers do have choices to make. We trust this study will help them to make the best informed decision for the future of European forests". The study is available at: http://live.unece.org/forests/outlook/welcome.html

  • FAO launched its bimonthly Urban and Peri-urban Forestry newsletter in May 2011. The archives of Forest and Trees for Healthy Cities Newsletter are available at http://km.fao.org/urbanforestry/repository/newsletter/en/.

  • Trees, People and the Built Environment: The proceedings from the international conference 'Trees, People and the Built Environment', held in Birmingham during April last year, have now been published by the Forestry Commission. The full conference proceedings and individual papers can be downloaded at: http://www.charteredforesters.org/proceedings2011/
  • FAO: Forests and Climate Change Working Paper 10. Forest Management and Climate Change: a literature review: This document summarizes knowledge and experiences in forest management as a response to climate change, based on a literature review and a survey of forest managers. This is part of an FAO-led process to prepare climate change guidelines for forest managers. It examines climate change impacts on forests and forest managers throughout the world. The document also reviews the main perceived challenges that climate change poses to forests and their managers. It summarizes experiences in preparing for and reacting to climate change in different types of forests. Finally, it indicates a number of gaps in enabling conditions (related to knowledge, institutional setting and culture) that hamper forest managers from responding effectively to climate change and its impacts.
