Take part in an online climate change conference
06.11.2014
Forestry policy makers, forest economists, scientists and researchers from all over the world are expected to register for a unique online conference entitled, “The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation Options in the Forest Sector”. The conference, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), will take place in six sessions during 6-27 February 2015 and a hundred free places are available in each session. More than 500 registrations have been received from 105 countries already.
The conference will focus on the costs and benefits of ways in which the forest sector can mitigate climate change, and examine how different countries mitigate climate change through forest management interventions and improved use of wood. Discussions will also showcase the lessons learned from mitigation efforts and their impacts on the value chain of forest products.
The deadline for submitting case studies is 10 November 2014.
Visit the conference web page to read more, register, or submit a case study abstract. For more information, please contact Illias Animon or Ruth Mallett.
