Safeguard Natural Resources

- *Forest education needs to be improved to be able to fulfil local,
national and global needs*
- *There is an urgent need for locally relevant, appropriate and
inclusive solutions that take into account digital divides, language
barriers and a gender and racial/ethnic balance in forest education*
- *Students at all levels need to have better access to forests and
outdoor training experience*
(*Rome, Italy, 4 October 2022*) Education is essential for safeguarding
natural resources, including forests, for future generations. This is one
of the key messages of a new and comprehensive "Global Assessment of Forest
Education" that examines the status of forest education and identifies much
needed actions. The assessment, which was jointly carried out by the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International
Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and the International Union of Forest
Research Organizations (IUFRO), was presented on 4 October 2022 in the
framework of the 26th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry in Rome,
Italy.
The role of forests and trees in countries' efforts to achieve the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is widely recognized, but
there is a need for well-trained forest sector workers, entrepreneurs,
practitioners, researchers, professionals and policy makers and a
well-informed public to maximize the contribution of forests to the SDGs.
"Forest education may be a tiny sector among educational branches, but it
has the potential to play a much larger role. With a better understanding
and alignment among forest-related stakeholders, it can make a difference
in attaining the SDGs," said Alexander Buck, Executive Director, IUFRO.
However, recent literature highlights concerns, that forest education is
often not meeting the needs of local communities the fast-changing labor
market and the importance of forests and of forest managers and
policymakers is often under-appreciated. "Our hope is that this report will
inform future action to strengthen forest education to the benefit of
forests and trees and contribute to the wellbeing of forest-dependent
peoples, global society and the planet," said Gerardo Segura Warnholtz,
Senior Forestry Officer, FAO.
The study addresses education and training related to forests, trees
outside forests and other wooded land and covers all levels of formal
education: primary, secondary, technical and vocational education and
training, universities and colleges. It identifies an urgent need for
locally relevant, appropriate and inclusive solutions that take into
account digital divides, language barriers and a gender and racial/ethnic
balance in forest education programs and the workforce. One of the main
areas for improvement is to ensure students at all levels better access to
forests and outdoor training experience. "High quality and widely available
forest education that also includes indigenous and traditional
forest-related knowledge is essential for enabling forests and trees to
fulfil many of the societal and environmental functions, a key element
being 'fit-for-purpose' in the forestry sector," says Sheam Satkuru, ITTO
Executive Director.
The report is based on the results of the 2020 Global Forest Education
Survey, supplemented by findings of six regional assessment reports on
forest education, carried out under the project, "Creation of a Global
Forest Education Platform and Launch of a Joint Initiative under the Aegis
of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF)", with funding support
from the German Federal Ministry for Food & Agriculture (BMEL).

*Key messages for decision makers about the role of forests in ensuring
sustainable consumption and production patterns (Sustainable Development
Goal SDG 12)*
Our reliance on natural resources has increased by over 65% globally from
2000 to 2019, according to the 2022 progress report on SDG12
<https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal12> of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. SDG12
strives to promote the efficient use and sustainable management of natural
resources and encourage companies and consumers to adopt sustainable
practices.
The forest sector already contributes significantly to reaching SDG12 and
related SDGs, acknowledging that *trade-offs* between ecology and economy
are required to achieve goals related to climate, biodiversity and land
degradation.
This is the main message of the newly published key messages for policy and
decision makers from a high-level event
<https://www.fao.org/international-day-of-forests/live-event/en/> titled
“Inspire for the future: the role of forests in ensuring sustainable
production and consumption”.
It highlights the vast potential that renewable forest products hold to
contribute to the transition towards carbon-neutral societies and towards
building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies. It also emphasizes
the need to strengthen local forest-based value chains and to recognize the
importance of cities and communities as engines of innovation that provide
new sustainable solutions to promote resource efficiency. In light of this,
all stakeholders are called upon to help identify and implement innovative
pathways to upscale the contribution of forests to a more sustainable
future.
Representatives from governments, international organizations, industry,
NGOs, research and youth gathered at this high-level event co-organized by
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the
International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and the IUFRO
World Congress 2024 | Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) on
the occasion of the International Day of Forests (IDF) on 21 March 2022 at
EXPO Dubai 2020.

To: Dear IUFRO Officeholder <mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com>
<https://www.iufro.org/>
* International Union of Forest Research Organizations *
A Decade of REDD+: Stakeholder Perceptions of its Implementation
*New Publication!*
To date, evidence indicates that the impacts of REDD+ interventions on
biodiversity, as well as on livelihoods and other economic and social
outcomes, are uneven and often highly context dependent. This is one of the
findings of the report "Forest, Climate, Biodiversity and People: Assessing
a Decade of REDD+"
<https://www.iufro.org/science/gfep/follow-up-studies/biodiversity-forest-ma…>
published by IUFRO's Global Forest Expert Panels (GFEP) Programme earlier
this year.
Back-to-back with the report, GFEP has conducted extensive stakeholder
consultations in Asia and Latin America to identify factors that would need
to be improved for better carbon and non-carbon outcomes of local REDD+
activities. The new publication "A Decade of REDD+: Stakeholder Perceptions
of its Implementation" synthesizes the responses and comments from the
nearly 200 stakeholders who were interviewed on REDD+ implementation on the
ground.
The author Dr. Nelson Grima, GFEP Manager, explains, "We cooperated with
local experts who talked with stakeholders of a wide range of backgrounds,
from Indigenous Peoples to academics and policy makers. Based on
semi-structured interviews, the stakeholders provided their views on the
impacts of REDD+ implementation and potential ways to improve it further.
Interestingly, despite the intrinsic differences between the regions
covered - Asia and Latin America - the factors that need to be improved
according to the interviewees are similar and include social, economic,
environmental, governance, and technical aspects."
Regarding the GFEP report, stakeholders see a huge potential for the use of
this assessment to guide public policies. Nevertheless, they also point out
that this potential is conditioned to the will of national governments to
work towards improving the forest sector and its associated socioeconomic
impacts.

*XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS Deadline
for proposals: 13 October 2022*
The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals
for the 2024 IUFRO World Congress. In line with the spirit of the Congress
title – Forest and Society towards 2050 ‐ the Congress Scientific Committee
is developing a program that will highlight the forest contributions to the
UN 2030 Agenda and its sustainable development goals and beyond. The
Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse
contributions across the full range of natural and social science
disciplines, with special emphasis on the themes and subthemes available at
the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/).
*Who may submit a session proposal?*
All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest-related
science are invited to submit session proposals. We encourage proposals
that involve collaboration between two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task
Forces and/or with organizations not formally associated with IUFRO, and
from university students at all levels. We strongly recommend IUFRO
officeholders and others actively involved in IUFRO Research Groups,
Working Parties, and Task Forces communicate with their respective Division
representatives on the CSC (or Task Force coordinators) before submitting
proposals – this will greatly facilitate broader involvement of IUFRO
divisional units and Task Forces in the scientific program and avoid
overlaps among sessions.
Session proposals from non‐IUFRO member organizations are encouraged
although preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with
IUFRO Divisional Units and Task Forces (see https://www.iufro.org/science/
<https://www.iufro.org/science/> for more information).
*Type of sessions*
Two types of sessions may be proposed. Sub-plenary sessions are expected to
attract a large audience (from 550 to 2000 people) and to address the major
elements of one of the Congress themes (see below). Sub-themes expand the
theme descriptions and do not necessarily translate into sub-plenary
sessions. Technical sessions should also focus on Congress themes or
sub-themes but may be more narrow in their scope and attract from 45 to 700
attendees. Sub-plenary session proposals that are not approved by the CSC
will be considered for Technical sessions.
*Preparing and submitting a session proposal*
Proposals should be submitted in English, *online at
https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals
<https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals>*. For questions and technical
support about session submission, please contact
abstracts.iufro2024(a)appinconf.com*. **Proposals will not be accepted after
13 October 2022*.
Session proposals should include session title, moderator(s), description
i.e. an abstract with the rationale of the session (400 words),
organizers(s)’ details, suggested session time slot, alignment with
Congress themes (ab. 100 words), session information with tentative titles
and presenters, alignment with selection criteria (ab. 200 words), and
relevant IUFRO Unit(s). Proposed sessions should be organized to be
nominally 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, we
recommend that 15 min including discussion be adopted for standard oral
presentations, and 30 min for sub-plenary talks. However, we encourage
proponents to be innovative, and to consider panel discussions, interactive
poster sessions and other session formats to engage Congress participants.
*Modification of accepted session proposals*
Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so
session organizers may need to include papers or posters that were not
originally proposed for their sessions. Please be aware of this possibility
and the need for flexibility in designing your session. In the event that
the number of accepted abstracts for a particular session exceeds the
number that can be accommodated in a single session, organizers may be
given an additional session slot in the Congress program.
*Criteria for selection*
Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress
Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to their scientific
quality, relevance to the Congress themes, and geographic and gender
diversity of proposed session organizers, moderators and proposed
presenters. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of
two or more IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and
Working Parties) and/or IUFRO and non‐IUFRO member organizations; and the
involvement of students and early-career scientists and professionals. We
strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the 13th October deadline.
Acceptance decisions will be made no later than 17 January 2023. An open
Call for Abstracts will be issued on 1 February 2023, with online abstract
submission until 2 June 2023, and acceptance decisions provided by 30
October. The Congress timelines are available at the Congress website (
https://iufro2024.com/) and below.
*Responsibilities of session organizers*
Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with
prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online), will be
asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract
review period (i.e., from June to October 2023) and are in charge of
language editing of the accepted abstracts. They are also responsible for
ensuring that session moderators attend the Congress and are encouraged to
pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Formal
Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published. Session
organizers, moderators and speakers will have to pay the Congress fee.
We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in
the design of an excellent scientific program for the 2024 IUFRO Congress
in Stockholm, Sweden.
