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

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.

Key Dates: Registration is OPEN! [https://bambooconference.com/registration/]Registration Deadline: May 15, 2022Engineered Bamboo for Sustainable Construction Conference <virtual>May 17 - 19, 2022
We are pleased to announce an international conference on Engineered Bamboo for Sustainable Construction 2022, organized jointly by the University of British Columbia, the World Bamboo Organization and Zhejiang Agricultural and Forestry University. The conference will be held online, and registration is free. [https://bambooconference.com/registration/]
The conference will focus on the use of bamboo in construction, with particular emphasis on the rapidly growing use of engineered bamboo. This sustainable material is evolving rapidly, and the conference will look at how it is being incorporated into an increasingly diverse range of uses. On the first day, the conference will look at products and applications, including product examples, the road to commercialization, and research needs. The second day will present the latest research results and innovative ideas for bamboo in construction. The third and final day will look at the environmental rationale for using bamboo, including carbon emissions and the circular economy.
