Deadline for Submissions: 31 January 2016
From 24 to 27 October 2016, IUFRO will hold its first
Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania in Beijing, China. Under the Congress title
"Forests for Sustainable Development: the Role of Research", we hope to
establish a cutting-edge scientific programme highlighting the role of forest science in
informing forest-related policies and management in Asia and Oceania to cope with the
significant environmental, social and economic changes in the region and address the
consequent challenges.
For such a programme to materialize, we need your contributions: diverse, from inside and
outside the region, across the full range of natural and social science disciplines at
various levels, from the gene to the globe.
Therefore please submit by 31 January at the latest your session proposals addressing one
or more of the following Congress themes:
1. Sustainable forest management for enhanced provision of ecosystem services;
2. Forest and landscape rehabilitation and restoration;
3. Combating desertification, disaster and risk management, and climate change
mitigation and adaptation;
4. Planted forests for fostering a greener economy;
5. Innovative technologies for bio-energy, bio-materials and other products;
6. Urban forestry for human health and community well-being;
7. Social and cultural aspects of forests, including traditional knowledge, human
health, community participation and gender roles;
8. Forest and agro-forest management for food security, enhanced livelihoods and
non-timber forest products.
