Robust solutions for sustainable forests
About
CLIMB-FOREST aims to ensure that Europe’s forests maintain their climate mitigation capacities, are resilient to climate change and support people and nature.
The project brings together 18 organisations from across Europe for 4.5 years, using the latest modelling efforts and research data to analyse existing data, create new tools and put forward alternatives for forest management practices.
CLIMB-FOREST outputs will all be developed in close collaboration with the forestry sector, stakeholders from different civil society sectors and policy makers.
What we’re working on
-
Mapping
Mapping the management history and the current state of Europe’s forests to better understand the impact different forest management methods have on forests across Europe.
-
Data
Using data from long-term monitoring sites and satellite observations to assess and quantify climate effects occurring in forests across Europe.
-
Products
Working to better understand how wood products and forest management practices can contribute to a sustainable bioeconomy.
-
Management
Working closely with forest owners, forest policy makers and other key stakeholder to identify the most optimal forest management options for the coming decades.
-
Modelling
Bringing together advanced modelling capacity and state-of-the-art scenarios to explore how forests will change in the future.
