*Bioeconomy as a Common Context for Forests: IUFRO Task Force at UNFF21*
IUFRO's Task Force T50, "Building an Integrated Vision of the Forest-Based
Sector within a Bioeconomy,” was represented at the twenty-first session of
the UN Forum on Forests (UNFF21) in New York, 11–15 May 2026, by Herrick
Fox (UC Berkeley).
The bioeconomy thread at the session ran through the Country and
Organization-Led Initiative on Sustainable Forest-based Bioeconomy
Approaches (COLI), led by Austria with Australia, Finland, Japan, Türkiye,
FAO and IUFRO. At its side event, "Vienna Call for Action: The Power of
Forest-Based Bioeconomy," IUFRO launched its expanded Policy Brief, *Advancing
Forest-Based Bioeconomy Approaches*. The initiative's science-led
think-tank work is to be led by IUFRO through its bioeconomy Task Force,
which places T50 close to the question the session kept circling.

Host *Gerda Wolfrum* from IUFRO Headquarters and co-host *Bashir
Isiya, *Nigeria,
from the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA), spoke with
Task Force co-leads *Todora Rogelja* from the University of Padova, Italy,
and *Rattiya Lippe* from the Thuenen Institute of Forestry, Germany.
The conversation highlighted *entrenched power and governance structures* that
determine who is excluded from participation and denied rights, including
access to forest resources. Globally, there are many examples of women,
Indigenous Peoples, local communities, youth, and other groups that have
managed forests well yet remain underrepresented in decision-making.

*Podcast Season 3 Episode 1: Breaking down silos*
In our new Season 3 of *Branching out: the forest podcast*, we explore how
scientists collaborate across disciplines to tackle emerging topics. This
work happens through IUFRO Task Forces. We kick off the Season with the
topic of bioeconomy and the *Task Force on Building an Integrated Vision of
the Forest-Based Sector within a Bioeconomy*.
Host Gerda Wolfrum and co-host Fernanda Gonzalez from IUFRO HQ spoke with
Ivana Živojinović, a senior scientist at BOKU University in Vienna
(Institute of Forest, Environmental and Natural Resource Policy and the
Center for Bioeconomy), and Ricardo Vargas Carpintero, who recently
completed his PhD at the University of Hohenheim, Germany and is now based
in Colombia. They shared their insights on how the forest-based sector can
contribute to a bioeconomy.
