Subject: Climate change survey for forest managers / Une enquête sur le
changement climatique pour les gestionnaires forestiers / Una encuesta sobre
cambio climático para las autoridades forestales
Importance: High
FAO, in collaboration with forest management, climate change experts and
relevant stakeholders, is developing guidelines to assist forest managers to
effectively respond to climate change challenges and opportunities. These
guidelines will include actions related to both climate change adaptation
and mitigation and will be relevant to all types of forests, all management
objectives and all types of managers. More information on this effort may be
found here FAO Forests and
<http://www.fao.org/forestry/climatechange/65120/en/> Climate Change
Programme or requested at Climate-Change-Forest-Managers(a)fao.org.
To facilitate the development of the guidelines, we are conducting a survey
for forest managers (The survey in English
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9L22T2Q> ). We are inviting you to provide
your views and perceptions on factors that limit the ability of forest
managers to prepare for and respond to climate change.
Kindly forward the survey to your members and your mailing list(s). The
content of individual responses will not be published and will remain
anonymous.
Kindly allocate 15 minutes to complete this survey.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort in responding to the survey.
Best regards,
The Forests and Climate Change Team

La FAO, en collaboration avec des experts en matière de gestion des forêts
et du changement climatique et les parties prenantes concernées, est en
train de développer des directives pour aider les gestionnaires des forêts à
répondre efficacement aux défis du changement climatique et à ses
opportunités. Ces directives comprendront des actions liées à l'adaptation
et à l'atténuation du changement climatique et seront adaptées à tous les
types de forêts, tous les objectifs de gestion et tous les types de
gestionnaires. Pour plus d'informations sur cet effort, vous pouvez
consulter le site Programme de
<http://www.fao.org/forestry/climatechange/65120/fr> la FAO sur les forêts
et le changement climatique ou vous pouvez écrire à
Climate-Change-Forest-Managers(a)fao.org.
Pour faciliter l'élaboration de ces directives, nous réalisons une enquête
au près des gestionnaires forestiers (
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LMZ8XX> L'enquête en française). Nous vous
invitons à donner votre opinion et vos perceptions sur les facteurs qui
limitent la capacité des gestionnaires forestiers à se préparer et répondre
au changement climatique.
Veuillez s'il vous plaît envoyer lenquête à vos membres et à vos listes
d'adresses. Le contenu de vos réponses ne sera pas publié et restera
anonyme.
Nous vous invitons à prendre 15 minutes pour remplir ce questionnaire.
Merci d'avance pour votre temps et vos efforts consacrés à cette enquête.
Meilleures salutations,
Forêts et changement climatique.

La FAO, en colaboración con expertos en ordenación forestal y en cambio
climático y con las partes interesadas pertinentes, está elaborando
directrices para ayudar a las autoridades forestales a responder con
eficacia a los desafíos y oportunidades que plantea el cambio climático.
Estas directrices comprenderán medidas de adaptación y mitigación ante el
cambio climático, y serán adecuadas para todo tipo de bosques, todos los
objetivos de gestión y a todos los responsables de la gestión forestal. En
el siguiente enlace se presenta más información sobre esta actividad:
Programa de la FAO <http://www.fao.org/forestry/climatechange/65120/es/>
sobre los bosques y el cambio climático o podéis escribir a
Climate-Change-Forest-Managers(a)fao.org.
Con el fin de facilitar la elaboración de las directrices, estamos haciendo
una encuesta a las autoridades forestales (La encuesta en
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/98HHFSG> español). Los invitamos a compartir
puntos de vista y opiniones sobre los factores que limitan la capacidad de
los responsables de la gestión forestal para prepararse al cambio climático
y responder a sus desafíos.
Envíe por favor la encuesta a sus membro y sus listas de correos. No se
publicarán las respuestas de los cuestionarios, su contenido se mantendrá
anónimo.
Sírvase dedicar 15 minutos a la respuesta del cuestionario.
Por anticipado, muchas gracias por su tiempo y atención para participar en
la encuesta.
Saludos cordiales,
