Authors are limited to a maximum of two abstracts as presenting author, although an individual may be listed as a co-author on several abstracts. Abstracts not associated with one of the sessions in the list may be assigned to a general poster session. Session organizers will review the abstracts for scientific quality, topical significance and relevance to the Congress themes<https://iufro2024.com/iufro-world-congress-2024/forests-and-society-towards…> and to the particular session to which the abstract is submitted, and assign them as oral or poster presentations.

Dear colleagues
The organisers of the 25th European Forum on Urban Forestry (EFUF, http://www.efuf.org) invite urban forest practitioners, policy makers, researchers and managers to submit abstracts for the Forum. This includes, but is not limited to, applied as well as academic research, perspectives and experience of professionals and practitioners working in policy making, planning, management, engagement of civil society amongst many others. EFUF emphasises the connection of practice and scientific knowledge, encouraging a variety of possible formats to contribute to the conference.
We accept oral talks, presentations, posters and other non-commercial contributions. Abstracts (maximum 2500 characters, spaces included) are only accepted in English language. The proposal should be relevant to one of the three themes of the conference.
Extended Deadline for submission of abstracts: 20 February 2023 9:00 am CET (Brussels time).
Abstract Topics
Contributions to the 25th European Forum on Urban Forestry will explore these aspects, under the overall topic of Urban Forests as Nature-based Solutions.
Theme 1: Urban Forests and Urban Greening Plans
Exploring the challenges of planning for existing tree-based urban green space, and for planning new urban forests, including citizens’ views and perceptions, and maximising services provided by urban forests.
Theme 2: Urban Forests, Urban Trees and Water
Exploring the role that urban forests and urban trees can play in managing water in and around cities and towns (water buffering, reducing floods, limiting water pollution), including the impact of droughts on tree-based ecosystems.
Theme 3: Biotic Management aspects in Urban Forestry
Exploring impact of pests and diseases, and the role of adaptive management to limit these impacts.
Abstract Submission
For abstract submission, please use the online system at https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EFUF2023_Call_Abstracts.
The programme committee will determine whether a proposal will be accepted for presentation, considering the significance and/or the innovative character of the contribution. Authors will normally be informed of the acceptance or otherwise of their contribution by the end of February 2022. The decision of the programme committee is final, and correspondence will not be entered.

Hi all,
We hope this email finds you well. This is just a friendly reminder that the registration deadline for the micro-certificate Programs offered by the Faculty of Forestry at UBC is quickly approaching.
These 4 micro-certificate programs include the following:
Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation (CVA)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/climate-micro-certificate/> provides forest professionals with an understanding of climate science, vulnerability assessments, adaptation development, and how it is applied to management and business case adaptation.
Co-Management of Natural Resources (CNR)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/co-management-natural-resource…> explores how to advance co-management initiatives, institutional and relational change, and intercultural understanding at the nexus of Indigenous and Western Knowledge systems.
Forest Carbon Management (FCM)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/forest-carbon-management/> centres on forest carbon accounting, data analysis, and natural resource management to excel in forest carbon projects and associated markets around the world.
Climate Action and Community Engagement (CACE)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/climate-action-community-engag…> teaches students to engage and train local climate champions to build stronger and more resilient cities in the face of climate change extremes.
As a reminder, these programs are designed to provide participants with advanced training in a number of specific areas, and offers a unique opportunity for professional development. The micro-certificate programs will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field.
The registration deadline for the program is Sunday, February 12. We encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your spot in the program.
