Subject: Annual reporting by IUFRO Divisions following the Strategy Action
Plan
To:Purabi Bose <purabib2(a)gmail.com>
Dear Coordinators of IUFRO Divisions,
CC: Vice-President for Divisions,
It is now again the time of the year to start preparing for annual
reporting following the IUFRO Strategy Action Plan 2020-2024.
Similar to last year, IUFRO HQ would kindly request you to coordinate the
collection of input from within your Division (from Research Groups and
Working Parties). Since this is the final reporting in the current Board
term (2019-2024), the Board decided at its meeting in March 2023 (Dehradun,
India) that all units should report on the activities undertaken in 2023
*and* plans until June 2024 (until World Congress 2024) using the filtered
Strategy Action Plan as a guiding framework (Board Meeting Action 19).
For your convenience and as done last year, the updated *Word version of
the filtered action plan* that can be used to collect input from within
your Division has been attached to this e-mail. Last time round, some of
you had uploaded the Word document and circulated it as a shared online
document. For your information and in case useful, also the full *IUFRO
Strategy Action Plan 2020-2024* has been attached to this e-mail message.
IUFRO HQ would thus like to ask *you as Division** Coordinators **to submit
the final aggregated report of activities of your Division* *through the
following online form**:* *https://forms.office.com/e/PDcB1DdJzK
<https://forms.office.com/e/PDcB1DdJzK>*. *Each Division is asked to enter
into the text field of each relevant action not more than three (3) bullet
points describing the activities/progress towards implementing a specific
action in year 2023 and not more than three (3) bullet points describing
plans until June 2024.* Please submit your input *latest by 31 January 202*
*4**.*
In addition to using your reports for various suitable purposes within
IUFRO HQ, e.g., for developing the Annual Report, your reports from the
entire Board term will be further analyzed and assessed by the IUFRO
Strategy Action Plan evaluation Advisory Committee (to be formally approved
by the Board shortly). The task of the committee is to evaluate both
quantitatively and qualitatively the implementation of the whole IUFRO
Strategy Action Plan 2020-2024, based on the submitted reports for 2021,
2022, 2023 and half of 2024. The results and recommendations from the
analysis will be presented to the MC and the Board in June 2024, and these
will serve as a basis for the proposal for the next IUFRO Strategy Action
Plan post-2025.
In case of any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you in advance and best wishes from Vienna,
Andre

15 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - An introduction to Urban Forest Strategic Planning
Planning of urban forests should primarily focus on an ecosystem-based and human well-being approach. In this regard, an urban forest strategic plan for urban forests (whether new or pre-exiting) is a key element for managing trees in urban environments and thereby realizing the potential of trees as a sustainable nature-based solution. What elements should the strategic plan include? What methodology should be followed to develop the strategic plan? Who should participate in its creation?

17 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Urban Forest Governance: Achieving Effective and Collaborative Management
Urban Forest Governance (UFG) refers to the management and development of trees and forests in urban areas. In many cases, effective governance of Urban Forests as Nature Based Solutions (UF-NBS) requires collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders, including governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, community groups, and individuals. What are the key aspects of urban forest governance and management? What roles should each of the involved actors undertake? What methodologies can be employed to facilitate collaboration among the different stakeholders?

22 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Empower your Local Communities: Participatory Urban Forest Design and Management
Participatory approaches play a crucial role in designing neighborhoods, as they offer undeniable advantages compared to conventional processes managed solely by professionals or public stakeholders. Learn how urban and peri-urban UF-NBS projects can best involve the public/civil society from the outset to mitigate conflict and simultaneously legitimize the process. How can the public be engaged? How can effective participation be fostered? What challenges can the participation process
generate and how should they be addressed?

22 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Protection and Restoration: How to Maintain and Improve your Urban Forest (in collaboration with the SUPERB Forest Restoration project)
Urban forests stand out as key solutions to climate change as long as they cater to the needs of diverse groups, but they require protection and restoration to fulfil their role in green infrastructure. How should the restoration of green-blue infrastructure be carried out? What are the main challenges facing this restoration and how could they be overcome? Why is it important to ensure the multifunctionality of green spaces in urban environments?
