Forests have a significant impact on Earth's well-being. That's why we're committed to sustainable forest management practices that safeguard the environment and offer a natural solution to combat climate change. Explore the concept of climate smart forestry and learn about the strategies we're implementing to maintain healthy and resilient forests for generations to come: https://hubs.ly/Q02qDbDs0 #earthmonth #climatesmartforestry

Get to know Envira Amazonia, a forestry project currently in our Climate Impact Portfolio. This project supports the conservation of 39,300 hectares of the Amazon Rainforest that were in danger of being cut down to make way for cattle grazing areas.

🌲 Protected and properly managed forests are a key to climate change mitigation. However, even the areas that look just fine on a map, may be producing carbon emissions rather than capturing them. 🔎 In this cross-border investigation https://lnkd.in/eHv4sxJK Rita Cruz Louisa Bouri-Saouter and Kai Rüsberg explored the three biggest forest regions that stand out as carbon emitters in Europe. They analysed how the detrimental forestry practices – monocultures, hybridisations or clear-cutting – imposed by forestry lobbies, as well as systemic governmental failures to counter those practices, effectively have transformed Les Landes in France, the big forest in the center of Portugal, and the Harz in Germany into greenhouse gas emitters. 👀 Read more on Público: https://lnkd.in/etBNKJZS Three more episodes on Portugal will come in July&August.

❗ Friday Weekly Topic. DID YOU KNOW #42 🌳 🌍 Forestry plays a vital role in the #HorizonEurope program! 🌱✨ It's all about sustainable forest management, boosting biodiversity, and fighting climate change. 🌎💚 By investing in innovation, #HorizonEurope supports forest-based industries, rural development, and greener solutions. 🌲💼♻️ #GreenFuture #ForestryInnovation #HorizonEurope

Grateful for the opportunity to present about climate change for the Healthy Forest Workshop for private landowners and participate in the Goddard Forum: Visioning Climate-Smart Forestry in the Mid-Atlantic Region earlier this month. Climate-smart forestry is essential for addressing the dual challenges of climate change and forest conservation. By integrating sustainable practices that enhance forest resilience, improve carbon sequestration, and support biodiversity, climate-smart forestry not only helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions but also ensures that forest ecosystems can adapt to changing conditions. This approach fosters the sustainable management of forest resources, benefiting local communities, economies, and the environment. Ultimately, it plays a critical role in building a more sustainable future for both people and the planet. #climatechange #climatesmartforests #mitigation #adaptation #biodiversity #pennstate #goddardforum

Forests naturally absorb CO₂, making them essential in the fight against climate change. Through afforestation and reforestation, we can capture carbon, reduce emissions, and protect biodiversity. Investing in forestry is key to a sustainable future.  #SEEFA #SaveIrishForestry

Dive into our latest article on the groundbreaking USDA report on greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture and forestry! 🌍 Discover how our Policy Alum, Wes Hanson MPP ’18, played a crucial role in this comprehensive four-year study, shaping future sustainable practices and policy decisions.

🌳 Exploring Ethnoforestry: International Day of Forests 2024 Amidst the Climate Crisis, embracing traditional wisdom and local practices, ethnoforestry could play a pivotal role in climate adaptation endeavors. Ethnoforestry involves the incorporation of traditional knowledge and local practices related to forest management to enhance resilience to climate change impacts. By bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and modern science, ethnoforestry has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable forest management and conservation efforts. This approach customizes forestry practices to evolving environmental conditions, fostering sustainability and empowering communities with robust adaptation strategies within the broader framework of sustainable forest management. 🌿✨ #Ethnoforestry #ClimateAdaptation #SustainableForestry #ClimateResilience

The Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) cements the crucial role that forests play in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Countries are increasingly recognizing this role, including the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector as part of their mitigation efforts in their new or updated NDCs.

Ahead of the general election on 4 July, we published a #CalltoAction document, Trees for People, Place and Nature: Growing Trees for Tomorrow's needs, setting out four key areas for government to recognise and act on. We are calling for the next government to commit to working with the forestry profession to unlock the potential of our trees, woods and forests, in support of delivering against the timber, biodiversity, and climate crises.
