New RFFL Website and Publication Now Online!
Dear Reader of IUFRO News:
The *Resilient Future Forests Laboratory (RFFL)* is a *global network of
long-term, operational-scale plots* that demonstrate forests managed for
resilience and adaptation to change. The RFFL Network covers large
gradients of climatic and socio-economic conditions. And we are happy to
announce the *launch of the RFFL website*:
https://resilientfutureforest.org/
At the same time, we are announcing the *new Occasional Paper RFFL
Guidebook published by IUFRO*, which provides guidance on establishing and
maintaining RFFL Field Plots, collecting data, and sharing results. This
guide is intended primarily for anyone directly involved in proposing and
establishing an RFFL Location. Scientists, practitioners,
consultants/advisors, and landowners (individuals or organizations
responsible for the land on which the RFFL is located) all will benefit
from this Guide.
It can be downloaded from:
https://www.iufro.org/publications/series/occasional-papers/article/2024/06…
For those joining the *XXVI IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm*, visit
the *IUFRO-SPDC
Exhibition Space*. Throughout the week, there will be presentations about
different forest landscape restoration projects, including RFFL:

Branching out: the forest podcast - Episode 6
Dear Reader of IUFRO News:
The season finale of our podcast, The way forward for forests, science and
people
<https://www.iufro.org/news/article/2024/04/29/branching-out-episode-6-april…>,
is out! And in this special episode, *Jose Bolaños* from IUFRO HQ talked
with *Daniela Kleinschmit*, professor of forest and environmental policy at
the University of Freiburg, Germany, and incoming President of IUFRO; *Woodam
Chung*, professor of forest engineering at Oregon State University, U.S.A.,
and incoming IUFRO Vice-President for Divisions; and *Isabelle Claire Dela
Paz*, President of the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA).
One of the highlights of the discussion was the outlook on the upcoming *IUFRO
World Congress <https://iufro2024.com/>* in Stockholm this summer. Our
guests shared their expectations for this global gathering, emphasizing the
importance of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. From climate change to
biodiversity loss, they underlined the myriad of challenges facing the
forest research community in the coming years and highlighted innovative
approaches to tackle those.
*Daniela*, who is currently Vice-President for Divisions, stressed the
importance of effectively communicating scientific findings to policymakers
and the public, as well as the role of social innovation.
*Woodam*, Coordinator of IUFRO Division 3 – *Forest operations engineering
and management <https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-3/30000/>*,
introduced Forestry 5.0, which integrates cutting-edge technologies like
artificial intelligence and remote sensing to revolutionize forest
management practices.
*Isabelle *shared strategies for attracting young people, including
mentorship programs and initiatives for youth advocacy integrating
youth-led initiatives into the broader agenda of the forest sector.
As we look towards the future of our forests, it becomes clear that
collaboration, innovation, and youth engagement will be essential in
addressing the complex scenarios ahead.

Report: Forest Science and Education in Ukraine - Priorities for Action
Dear IUFRO Officeholders and Members,
Ukraine's forest sector is facing unprecedented challenges. War has
impacted both forests and forestry, devastating forest areas and limiting
the country's capacity to respond to associated problems. Additional
pressures are posed by factors such as climate change, forest health
dynamics, wildfires, and a decrease in forest productivity. To discuss the
current challenges and propose solutions, a two-day Forum on Ukraine Forest
Science and Education: Needs and Priorities for Collaboration
<https://iiasa.ac.at/events/nov-2023/forum-on-ukraine-forest-science-and-edu…>
was held in November 2023 at IIASA Headquarters in Laxenburg, Austria and
online.
The forum, jointly hosted by the International Institute for Applied
Systems Analysis (IIASA), the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO), and the National University of Life and
Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP) with support from the Austrian
Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Regions, and Water Management
(BML), brought together global experts to explore pathways toward
catalyzing coordinated and impactful international action to address
Ukrainian forest research and education needs and priorities.
Based on the outcomes of the forum, a new report, prepared by IIASA, NUBiP
and IUFRO, was launched at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO)'s Support for Recovery of Forestry Sector in Ukraine
International Donor and Stakeholders Conference that took place at the
Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague from 26-27 March 2024.
The report provides input on potential actions in the areas of forest
science for strategy, innovation in forest education, and coordination and
collaboration. These are in line with the Forest Support Strategy for
Ukraine prepared by FAO and endorsed by the Ministry of Environmental
Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
