IUFRO The Advocate for Forest Science.
From 14-16 December 2009, the Asia and the Pacific Forest Products Workshop on "Green Technologies and Products for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation" was held in Marawila, Sri Lanka, with the aim to provide a forum for linking various agencies and institutions dealing with climate change issues in forest products processing and utilization. The recently intensified debates and discussions on climate change have introduced many additional challenges to the efficient and sustainable utilization of forest products. Efficient processing technologies and maximized wood utilization constitute major components in the green business strategy designed to conserve resources, reduce impacts to the environment, human safety and health, and promote greater overall efficiency.
