Calling all those involved in forests, energy and livelihoods!
A new multi-agency issue brief highlights the links between these sectors and the leap forward that could come from them working more closely together.
Do you work in forests, energy or livelihoods? Are you searching for ways to boost progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals?
If so, take a moment to look at this new FAO/IUFRO/UNDP/UNFF issue brief, Forests, Energy and Livelihoods<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…>, which neatly sums up the current state of play in these sectors and why they are inextricably linked. It explains why managing forests more sustainably brings huge benefits to all those who depend on wood for fuel or forest products for a livelihood. And calls for more joined up thinking across these sectors to accelerate progress towards SDGs on poverty, hunger and clean energy.
Now is the time to put heads together on this!
Join the global event on April 4 (10.00-13.00 EDT) on UN Web TV<https://media.un.org/en/webtv> and follow the discussion about integrated approaches across these sectors ahead of the 2023 SDG Summit at the UN General Assembly high-level week in September.
Make sure you are part of this. Read the issue brief<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…> and join the event<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/events/unff18-bureau-event-forests-energy-li…>.
See you there!

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
dear colleagues,
another prae/post-doc position for forest- or social scientists is being
announced at the University of Göttingen (see above/attachment). German
language is a must, therefore the call is in German only. The position
is probably esp. interesting for researchers with a background in forest
policy, political communication, social milieus and/or quantitative
sociology or alike. Emphasis is given also to knowledge of quantitative
methods and SPSS. Please share with any potentially interested
colleagues and scholars.
Best,
Peter

Apologies for any cross-postings.
Dear Iufro colleagues,
On the occasion of the International Day of Forests on March 21st, a
group of forest scientists of the Forests and Societies Research Unit of
Cirad, thought it would be an opportunity to publish an opinion column
to recall the urgent need to conserve and to safeguard the tropical
forests. This opinion column will be published in the French online
newspaper Reporterre which has about 1.5 million readers per month.
Please take few minutes to read it and if you agree with the contents,
please sign it by filling the form available on this link:
https://forms.gle/r981va1BNEEz8yfC9
If you want to sign the form, please do it before *March 13th, Midnight
CET.*
By signing this paper you are signing as an individual but you can also
indicate your institution. The list of signatories and their institution
(if you indicate it) will also be published on the Reporterre website
with the paper.
The original text is in French but I attached an English version of it
for the non French speakers.
We hope that this opinion paper will reach a large public and will be
of interest for others medias. With this, we hope that we will be able
to increase our visibility and get opportunities to talk further about
the urgency in saving the tropical forests.
Please do not hesitate to disseminate this message to your scientists
and students networks.
cheers
