26-28 February 2020; Bonn, Germany
Forests are among our planet's most important human life-supporting
ecosystems, and there are many expectations with regards to the ecosystem
services they provide. But: how do major global challenges such as climate
change and biodiversity loss affect forests globally, and what can forest
governance and management do? How can rising and changing demands for forest
products and ecosystem services due to global population and economic
growth, and urbanization be dealt with? How can forest policy navigate
between demands originating from other policy sectors, such as agriculture,
environment, energy, and rural development?
These and more questions will be discussed in the framework of the
international conference "Governing and managing forests for multiple
ecosystem services across the globe", taking place on 26-28 February 2020 in
Bonn, Germany.
The conference, which is organized by several international organizations,
is supported by IUFRO Division 9 - Forest Policy and Economics
<https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-9/90000/> and IUFRO
Working Party 9.05.07 - Science policy interactions
<https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-9/90000/90500/90507/> . It
will bring together ca. 200 international policymakers, practitioners and
researchers from different fields, promoting interdisciplinary and
inter-generational dialogues.
Special Event
On Thursday, 27 February 2020, 7:30 to 9:15 pm, there will be an open panel
discussion on "The future of forests managed for multiple services in Europe
- where are we heading towards and what can we expect from the "European
Green Deal"?"
Registration is not required. Admission is free.
The conference will be livestreamed via
https://www.youtube.com/user/EuropeanForest/live, and contributions to the
discussions via Twitter using the hashtag #4estEcoServices
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/4estEcoServices> are welcome.

Hello,
I hope this finds you well and enjoying the holiday season. Our working party has been active this year with a strong presence at the 2019 IUFRO World Congress where we helped support plenary, technical, and poster sessions and a side event of forest landscape restoration. You can find the technical presentations on this Google Drive<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.goo…>. The events were all well attended with much discussion. Those of us fortunate to attend the World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil, enjoyed the opportunity to learn from one another and create and strengthen networks.
After serving 9 years as the working party coordinator, it is time for me to step down. The attached activity report describes our work together this past decade. I have very much enjoyed helping with these activities and especially meeting many of you and sharing experiences across the globe.
I am happy to announce that Ewa Hermanowicz, Communication Officer with the European Forest Genetic Resource Programme, will be the new coordinator for the Communications and Public Relations Working Party. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will serve the working party well. I look forward to Ewa leading the working party toward a bright future of innovation and networking.
Happy holidays and best wishes for 2020!
