We continue the Season with the Task Force on <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM8X…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong><u>Forest Living Labs for Sustainable Climate Adaptation (FORLIVS)</u></strong></span></a> and will hear how effective solutions start with listening, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. <br /><br />Host <i>Gerda Wolfrum</i> from IUFRO Headquarters and co-host <strong>Ritikaa Gupta</strong><i>, </i>a forest communication consultant based in Italy<i> </i>and IUFRO Communications Working Party Deputy Coordinator,<i> </i>spoke with Task Force co-leads <strong>Claire Depardieu</strong>, Tree Physiologist Research Scientist at the Atlantic Forestry Centre, Natural Resources Canada, and <strong>Maria Nijnik</strong>, Principal Scientist at the Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences Department of the James Hutton Institute, United Kingdom.<br /><br />Addressing climate change requires bringing together multiple forms of knowledge and expertise. Forest living labs are collaborative, long-term research platforms where scientists, forest managers, landowners, indigenous communities, policymakers, industry partners, and other stakeholders, work together to better understand and address the challenges facing forests such as climate change. <br /><br /><strong>Claire Depardieu</strong> underlined, <i>"Forest living labs are not only platforms for knowledge exchange. They are spaces where solutions are co-designed, tested, and improved through continuous collaboration."</i><br /><br /><strong>Maria Nijnik, </strong>who also coordinates the IUFRO Working Party on <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM3E…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><u>Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship</u></span></a> explained, <i>"The benefits of living labs are gained largely from realizing social innovations defined as the reconfiguration of social practices in response to societal challenges including climate change." </i>Primary benefits are associated with strengthening the resilience of forest social ecological systems. <br /><br />The <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM8X…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><u>FORLIVS webinar series</u></span></a> has shown that although many regions in the world are facing common challenges related to climate change, priorities and approaches can be very different depending on local realities. While most living lab approaches in Canada, for example, are currently focused on forest ecosystems, sustainable forest management and climate adaptation in both natural and managed forests, in many regions of Africa the connection between forest agriculture and local livelihoods is much stronger, and agroforestry is often the central component of climate adaptation strategies.<br /><br /><i>"One of the most important lessons from this conversation is that there is no-one-size-fits all approach. Forest living labs help ensure that solutions are both practical and relevant for the future and for now,"</i><strong> Ritikaa Gupta</strong> concluded.<br /><br /><br />Tune in to <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM5U…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong><u>Branching Out: the forest podcast</u></strong></span></a>!

the twenty-first session of the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF21) in New York, 11–15 May 2026, by Herrick Fox (UC Berkeley).<br /><br />The bioeconomy thread at the session ran through the Country and Organization-Led Initiative on Sustainable Forest-based Bioeconomy Approaches (COLI), led by Austria with Australia, Finland, Japan, Türkiye, FAO and IUFRO. At its side event, "Vienna Call for Action: The Power of Forest-Based Bioeconomy," IUFRO launched its expanded Policy Brief, <i>Advancing Forest-Based Bioeconomy Approaches</i>. The initiative's science-led think-tank work is to be led by IUFRO through its bioeconomy Task Force, which places T50 close to the question the session kept circling.<br /><br /><a

Dear friends, I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the IUFRO Working Party 2.09.02, I would like to thank you for your continued contributions to our research community and your active participation in our meetings. As all of you know, the next meeting will be in Harbin next August. As we begin planning future activities, we are looking ahead to the next IUFRO 2.09.02 meeting, which is expected to take place in 2028. We would like to ask whether you and your institution would be interested in hosting and organizing this meeting. We believe that your expertise, together with the excellent facilities and scientific environment at your institution, would provide an outstanding venue for bringing together researchers working in this field. Of course, we understand that organizing an international meeting is a significant commitment, and this message is simply intended to explore your interest at this stage. If hosting the meeting is something you would consider, we would be delighted to discuss the possibilities with you, including potential dates, venue, and organizational aspects. The Working Party would be pleased to support you throughout the planning process. We would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts when convenient. Thank you for considering this invitation, and we look forward to your response. With best regards, [Your Name] Coordinator, IUFRO Working Party 2.09.02 Paloma Moncaleán, PhD. Researcher Forest Sciences Department, NEIKER-BRTA www.neiker.eus<http://www.neiker.eus> [cid:image001.png@01DD1A8C.55CA0730]

We continue the Season with the Task Force on <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM8X…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><u>Health, Safety and Social Dimensions of Forest Restoration Operations</u></span></a> and will learn what it takes for restoration to be successful especially from a forest operations perspective. <br /><br />Host <i>Gerda Wolfrum</i> from IUFRO Headquarters and co-host <i>Sara Santiago</i> from The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment in the USA, and IUFRO Communications Working Party Deputy Coordinator,<i> </i>spoke with Task Force co-leads <i>Nate Anderson</i>, Research and Development, U.S. Forest Service, Missoula, MT, and <i>Jay Kim,<strong> </strong></i>Texas A&M University, Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, USA. <br /><br /><i>"Many global forest restoration initiatives have set very ambitious goals, often measured in millions of hectares restored. But they've paid much less attention to how the work will actually be carried out or what it means for the people who do the work,"</i> <strong>Jay Kim </strong>said. <br /><br />Restoration workers are much more exposed to physical hazards than workers in commercial timber harvesting operations because restoration work is much less mechanized. Also, the work environment is a lot less predictable, as restoration projects are often located in difficult terrain. And many restoration projects rely on seasonal workers, contractors, or conservation crews, which means that the experience level can vary.<br /><br /><i>"So, when we talk about restoration, we are not just talking about the trees and the plants, but the actual on-the-ground work, and the people who are conducting that work and how they are conducting that work,"</i> <strong>Sara Santiago </strong>concluded. <br /><br />Regarding the broader social dimensions,<strong> Nate Anderson</strong> explained, "<i>We know the pledges to plant millions of trees and to restore millions of hectares of land come with a lot of economic activity. And there's been a lot of good research around the world focused on how that plays out in local communities in both positive and challenging ways." </i><br /><br />Ultimately, successful restoration is about far more than restoring hectares of land. It also means creating conditions that allow restoration workers to operate safely and sustainably, and that strengthen the social fabric and livelihoods of local communities. And most importantly, to reach restoration goals and mitigate some of the potential risks and negative impacts, it really takes a lot of collaboration.<br /><br />Tune in to <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM5U…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong><u>Branching Out: the forest podcast</u></strong></span></a>!

Publication of the Proceedings - 6th IUFRO 2.09.02 Conference (Rotorua 2024) & Upcoming 7th Conference in Harbin

by Jean-Francois Trontin

Dear IUFRO 2.09.02 and Division 2 Colleagues and Friends, We are absolutely delighted to announce that the Proceedings of our 6th International Conference in Rotorua (March 2024) are now finalised and released! As mentioned in the Foreword, reaching this milestone has been a long and challenging journey, taking over two years instead of our usual one. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you will take great pleasure in reading this volume. Seeing this work finally come to fruition brings us immense satisfaction :). A huge thank you to all the authors of the thirty or so contributions, which include full articles, extended abstracts, and short abstracts. We hope that this permanent publication, now carrying an ISBN, will best highlight the work you presented in Rotorua. The Proceedings will soon be permanently available on the IUFRO 2.09.02 webpage (link<https://www.iufro.org/events/6th-iufro-20902-conference-the-might-of-vegeta…>) once the web moderators process our request. In the meantime, you can download the full PDF document via this secure temporary INRAE link<https://filesender.renater.fr/?s=download&token=0619430f-5155-4a11-857b-7ce…> until 20 August 2026. This achievement would simply not have been possible without an extraordinary collective effort. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the highly professional team who made these Proceedings a reality: Alison Slade (Forest Growers Research), Ruth Falshaw (Mahana Editing Services), and Nick Lambert (Scion/BSI) for their outstanding and highly motivated work on English corrections, layout, design, and securing the ISBN. We also take this opportunity to thank again Henri Baillères (General Manager, Forests to Timber Products at Scion/BSI), who was instrumental as a member of the Organising Committee in mobilising the Scion teams to so warmly welcome us in New Zealand. Furthermore, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our fellow Editorial Committee members-Paloma, Sandra & Sandra, Jorge, and Hailong. Although distance and various constraints limited the participation of some during this specific edition, their unwavering support and the collegiate and friendly spirit we share remain the bedrock of our Working Party. For the two of us, these Proceedings also symbolise a long-standing friendship and collaboration that began in the early days of the IUFRO 2.09.02 Working Party. From the organisation of the Brno 2012 conference to the unforgettable hospitality and flawless moral and technical support Jana and her wonderful team provided in Rotorua for local arrangements, our shared journey has been a true privilege. As we celebrate this milestone for our community, we must also look to the immediate future. We strongly encourage you to participate in the 7th IUFRO 2.09.02 Conference, which will be hosted by the Northeast Forestry University in wonderful Harbin, China, from 22 to 28 August 2026 (follow this IUFRO link<https://www.iufro.org/events/bottleneck-breakthrough-for-tree-somatic-embry…> to find more information, or visit the conference website<https://iufro2-09-02-2026conference.web.app/> directly). The theme, "Bottleneck breakthrough for tree somatic embryogenesis and other vegetative propagation in the era of omics and nanotechnology", promises to be fascinating. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission and early bird registration is 30 July 2026. Let us all support our colleague Pr. Hailong Shen, who has worked tirelessly to bring us to Harbin after our initial 2020 plans were unfortunately thwarted by the pandemic. Finally, we would like to wish the very best to the excellent new Coordination Team (Paloma, Jorge, Junhui) and to all of you as strong supporters of the IUFRO 2.09.02 community. May we continue to champion excellent R&D and impactful Innovation in the vegetative propagation of trees within this wonderful IUFRO framework, serving the preservation and sustainable management of our vital forest socio-ecosystems. With our warmest regards, Jana & Jean-François On behalf of the Editorial Committee of the Rotorua 2024 Proceedings IUFRO 2.09.02 Working Party [cid:image001.png@01DD19EA.76F71990] ________________________________ On a personal note from Jean-François: These Proceedings mark my very last official action for the Working Party after stepping down as Coordinator in June 2024. Regretfully, I will not be able to join you in Harbin. I will be taking some much-needed time off with my family this August to rest and recharge, before devoting my full energy to the development of the IN-SYLVA Europe Research Infrastructure (RI). It is an ambitious initiative dedicated to forest ecosystem adaptation to global change (europe.in-sylva.com<http://europe.in-sylva.com/>), which has just been accepted onto the ESFRI roadmap<https://www.esfri.eu/latest-esfri-news/six-new-project-proposals-selected-i…>, the European landscape of large RIs. The development of IN-SYLVA Europe is already supported by 50 organisations from 22 countries, including IUFRO, which is part of the Consortium and will facilitate internationalisation beyond Europe. Although I will deeply miss seeing so many long-time friends at a IUFRO 2.09.02 event for the very first time, I am confident that the development of IN-SYLVA Europe-ultimately a permanent infrastructure offering field experimentation-related services to forest researchers and stakeholders worldwide)-will provide us with wonderful new opportunities to cross paths :). Of course, I am ensuring that tree reproduction, and vegetative propagation technologies in particular, feature prominently in our IN-SYLVA Europe development plan!
