Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the international conference “Role and Fate of Forest Ecosystems in a Changing World” will be held in Bangkok, the “City of Angels”, on 15-19 January 2024 back-to-back the 31^st biennial conference of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations - Research Group 8.04 on “Air pollution and climate change”.

For the first time, the conference will be held in Southeast Asia, in Thailand, which is particularly vulnerable to climate change and air pollution given its large population, highest biodiversity in the tropical zone, and large number of forest-dependent communities. Do not miss this cornerstone of effective international collaboration in the research of air pollution and plant ecosystems.
