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.
Additional information on the State of the World’s Forests<https://www.fao.org/publications/sofo/2022/en/>.

ForestSAT 2022 in Berlin
2nd Call for Abstracts
Dear ForestSAT community,
We are rushing towards the ForestSAT 2022 event and while we are still figuring out many things at this point, we also made some progress since our last mail. We have by now organized a diverse range of special sessions which can be seen here (https://www.forestsat2022.com/special-sessions-2/<https://list-manage.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4d7574f87e47102feee2…>). Thanks to all our great colleagues who came forward with suggestions and offered their support with organizing the sessions. If you want to contribute to one of these sessions, you will have an option to assign your abstract to a session while uploading. We are furthermore very happy to announce our first keynote speaker Nicholas Coops who will give a presentation on near real time forest inventory using satellite and laser scanning data.
Since the deadline for abstract submission is coming closer quickly, we would now like to announce the 2nd Call for Abstracts and invite all of you to submit abstracts for poster and oral presentations for ForestSAT 2022.
The final deadline for submitting abstracts is 31st of May.
Please be aware that we will have no options to extend the deadline due to the extremely tight schedule. We hence really ask all of you to submit your abstract before the deadline.
We know that this is may cause a bit of time pressure, but we are confident that you can all find a time window to prepare an abstract and submit in time and that we can welcome you in Berlin at the end of August.
We are very much looking forward to it!
Best wishes,
Micha Foerster and Fabian Fassnacht

Colleagues,
You are invited to take part in a survey carried out as part of the H2020 EU funded FirEUrisk research project https://fireurisk.eu/.
FirEUrisk intends to develop, evaluate and disseminate a science-based integrated strategy to: 1) expand current forest/wildland fire risk assessment systems, including critical factors of risk previously not covered; 2) produce effective measures to reduce current fire risk conditions, and 3) develop adapting management strategies to expected future climate and socioeconomic changes in socio-ecological systems of woodlands and wildlands.
This survey is aimed at gathering explorative data around perception of Human Ignition Drivers and Fire risk among citizens. Your participation in the survey is completely voluntary and anonymous.
The survey is available in the following languages and we would be very grateful for your help with it:
* English<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FirEUrisk_EN>

Dear all,
The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
continues the online seminar series on *April 26, 4 pm CEST*, with:
*Prof. Dr. Andreas Bolte, Thünen Institute, Germany*
*Title:******Forest mortality dynamics in Germany – how can we cope with
it?***
_Abstract:_ In the last years forests in Germany have faced vitality
decreases and mortality dynamics never seen before. About 25% of German
forests are projected to be at risk for extensive disturbance events and
ecosystem service losses within the next 30 years; their transformation
to future resilient forests will cost billions of Euros. Based on an
analysis of ongoing mortality dynamics and options for an adaptive
forest management, solutions for future forest management will be discussed.
_Bio:_ Andreas Bolte is a forest ecologist. He is head of the Thünen
Institute of Forest Ecosystems, and Associated Professor for forest
ecology at Göttingen University. For more than 20 years he is studying
climate change impacts on forests and options to adapt them to future
climate and site conditions.

Dear all,
The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
continues the online seminar series on *March 15, 4 pm CET*, with:
*Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa*
*Title: **Mortality of Afrotropical trees in a temperature manipulation
experiment: Result from the Rwanda TREE project*
_Abstract:_ Knowledge on mortality responses of tropical trees and
communities under projected warmer climate is limited. Trees in tropical
montane forests (TMFs) are considered particularly vulnerable to climate
change, but this hypothesis remains poorly evaluated due to data
scarcity. To reduce the knowledge gap on the warming response of TMFs,
we have established a field experiment along an elevation gradient
ranging from 2400 m a.s.l. (15.2 °C mean temperature) to 1300 m a.s.l.
(20.6 °C mean temperature) in Rwanda. Twenty tree species, native to
East and Central Africa, from two forest types of origin (transitional
rainforest at 1600 – 2000 m a.s.l, and TMF at 2000 – 3000 m a.s.l.) and
two successional groups, early (ES) and late succession (LS), were
planted in multispecies plots at three sites along the gradient. Tree
growth and survival of 5400 trees was monitored regularly over two
years. The results showed that ES trees from lower elevations grew
faster at warmer sites while several of the LS species, especially from
higher elevations, did not respond or grew slower. Moreover, tree
mortality increased in a warmer climate and this was more pronounced in
high-elevation and LS species compared to lower-elevation and ES tree
species. ES species with transitional rainforest origin strongly
increased in proportion of stand basal area at warmer sites, while
tropical montane forest species declined, suggesting that
higher-elevation and LS species are at risk to be outcompeted by
lower-elevation and ES species in a warmer climate. We conclude that
tree mortality and growth responses combined may lead to modified tree
community composition in a warmer climate, favouring lower-elevation and
ES tree species. This has important implications for biodiversity and
carbon storage of Afromontane forests.

Productivity and Improvement Program at the Rwanda Forestry Authority of
the Ministry of Environment in Rwanda. He is a PhD candidate at the
University of Rwanda and at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. His
research focus are native tree species, their relation to ecological
regions, and the influence of climate change on growth and mortality.
