IUFRO World Congress

At Lignin Industries, we're on a mission to reduce CO2 emissions in the plastic industry by harnessing the power of lignin, a byproduct in the forest industry. We have developed a groundbreaking technology that transforms lignin into a thermoplastic material. By blending this modified lignin with other plastics, we create high-performance, sustainable alternatives. Our innovative solution bridge the plastic and forest industries together, creating value for both while reducing carbon footprint. Curious to learn more? Get in touch with us today!

After a week of reflecting on the new perspectives I've gained during #IUFRO2024, I am glad to finally share with you this article summarizing my presentation "From Classroom to Canopy: Enriching Forestry Education of Secondary School Students through the School Forest Project and IFSA TreE-Learning" at the "Forests for the Future" plenary session! 🌳 📌 Read the full article on the IFSA website: https://lnkd.in/gznqazBR International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA) IUFRO - International Union of Forest Research Organizations

What a week!!! ☀️✨🌳🌲🏞️🌊🌪️🌍🌎🌏🦎🐄🌾🥑🧺💹🤝...presenting the second chapter of my #PhD thesis... plus new and old friends and colleagues! The IUFRO World Congress 2024 in Stockholm featured over 4,500 participants, 200 sessions and 4,500 presentations by leading experts, showcasing the latest research, technologies, and applied science across various #forest-related topics. Some inspiration and highlights🤓: 🧬 1. The role of forest genetic resources: Several sessions focused on the importance of forest #genetic #diversity in enhancing the resilience of forests to #climate change. Such as assisted migration, adaptive genomics, and the use of underutilized forest genetic resources for climate adaptation. 🕸️ 2. Promoting #sustainable forest management and the #bioeconomy: The need to balance conflicting demands on forests, such as timber production, ecosystem services, biodiversity loss and climate change mitigation. 🤝 3. Strengthening #science-policy-practice linkages: A #platform for dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to translate research into effective policies and on-the-ground actions to address 1 and 2. 🤔 4. New #governance models, and policies to drive the #transition to low-carbon, nature-based and resilient economies for sustainable societies. 👾5. #AI-powered remote sensing, automation, and data analytics to support sustainable forest management. 💡6. A call to #increase efforts for more inclusion and leadership of Indigenous and traditional people and their local #knowledge 🥇A need for more studies working with #SocialEcologicalSystems! #systemsthinking 🔗 A huge thanks to all organizers, speakers, participants and peers! #IUFRO2024
