Dear Ivan and Rosane Collevatti, 

We are excited to propose the establishment of a new IUFRO Task Force: "A Permanent International Network of Forest Living Labs for the Sustainable Climate Adaptation of Forest and Agroforestry Socio-Ecosystems." Your IUFRO unit, 2.04.00 Genetics, might find this task force of interest. 

Task Force Overview

The proposed Task Force aims to create a global network of forestry living labs, fostering long-term collaborations between diverse sectors and strengthening partnerships between science and society. Please find attached the draft concept note.

These forest living labs will:

• Serve as platforms for testing and refining adaptation strategies in real forest environments
• Involve local communities, practitioners, and government agencies
• Support knowledge transfer and accelerate the implementation of adaptation techniques
• Provide practical recommendations for policymakers

Mission and Objectives

Our mission includes:

1. Consolidating the concept of forest living labs within the scientific community
2. Developing a methodological research framework
3. Establishing a pilot international network of 8-10 living labs across five continents

The ultimate goal is to enhance global collaboration, share resources, and develop innovative solutions for climate change challenges in forest and agroforestry systems.

Call for Participation

We are currently forming a coordination group of 10 members, with 9 individuals already confirmed. Additionally, we are developing a consortium to include all interested individuals and stakeholders.

We invite you to join this groundbreaking initiative. Please respond by August 30 to claire-paulette.depardieu.1@ulaval.ca, indicating:

1. Your interest in joining the Task Force or Consortium
2. Suggestions for other potential participants or organizations
3. Information on existing or developing living labs or forest-related data and resources that could benefit the network

Your expertise and participation would be invaluable in shaping the future of forest and agroforestry adaptation to climate change.

Best regards,

Claire Depardieu and Philippe Rozenberg
Members of the coordination group of the proposed Task Force
