[IUFRO Div 9] International Conference: Governing and managing forests for multiple ecosystem services across the globe

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.
