Dear Members of IUFRO Division 3,
IUFRO has announced Call for Nominations for members of the Voting Board 2024-2029. It is time for us to nominate candidates for our next Division Coordinators who, if elected, will also serve on the IUFRO Voting Board. During the last term, Division 3 developed and implemented a transparent and democratic procedure for Division Coordinator nomination. We would like to keep the similar procedure while accommodating recent changes in the IUFRO Statues and Internal Regulations. According to the new IUFRO Statues, each Division will be led by a team of two Division Co-Coordinators starting the next term (2024-2029). Accordingly, Division 3 Officeholders have collectively modified our nomination procedure, and I am delighted to share it with you today (please see attached).
Please consider nominating a team of two Co-Coordinator candidates as the next leaders of Division 3. Please send your nomination package to me (woodam.chung(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:woodam.chung@oregonstate.edu>) by September 15, 2022. Details on nomination procedure and requirements can be found in the attached documents.
Thanks to you all, Division 3 continues to be recognized for its strength, unity and innovations as one of the most active divisions within IUFRO. Let’s take this momentum forward and beyond with new leaders and new ideas. We look forward to receiving your nominations for our next Co-Coordinators. Thank you.
Best regards,
Woodam Chung
Division 3 Coordinator

Online Micro Certificate: Climate Vulnerability & Adaptation
October – December 2022
Register here: https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/climate-micro-certificate/
The Faculty of Forestry’s Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation (CVA) Micro-Certificate is a flexible 8-week online program that provides forest professionals with an understanding of climate science, vulnerability assessments, adaptation development, and how it is applied to management and business case adaptation.
Today, government and certification agencies are requiring more accountability in meeting climate change, and green industry standards. This has resulted in a surge in demand for working professionals who wish to advance their knowledge in the field of climate science, assessment and application of climate impacts and adaptation in a forestry context.

Protect, restore and sustainably use forests:
building blocks for environmental and economic recovery
Stockholm+50 Associated Event
Monday, 30 May 2022
15.00 -16.15 PM CEST
Register here: https://fao.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NMpI_BzoTsCKa4SHmS1sHg
Forests and trees can play a crucial role in addressing planetary challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss while moving towards sustainable economies and increasing food security.
The State of the World’s Forests 2022 (SOFO2022) provides three pathways to implement this new perspective of making development work with the environment: ‘protect’: measures for halting deforestation; ‘restore’: making land more productive, and ‘use’: investments in building economically viable green value chains that provide resilient livelihoods. SOFO2022 is a contribution to the implementation of SDG 15 (Life on Land) and the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests and its Global Forest Goals.
Important commitments regarding the world’s forests have been made at the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP26), the United Nations Environment Assembly 5.2 (UNEA 5.2), the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF17), and the Seoul Forest Declaration and the Ministerial Call on Sustainable wood adopted at World Forestry Congress (WFC) 2022.
Join FAO and Members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests in this discussion on interfaces between protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests as building blocks for a green recovery. Together they can conserve nature, better provide for human well-being, and contribute to inclusive recovery, build resilient and sustainable economies.
