Dear All
I have exciting news for our IUFRO DIVISION 8 - the IUFRO Board approved all changes in
structure and officers. Then we do have the great pleasure to welcome a NEW UNIT 8.04.00 –
Air pollution and Climate Change (please see detailed list of officers attach.) – A big
thanks to Elena, Alessandra and all the IUFRO colleagues that worked in this strategic
change – welcome to all!
The Board has also approved the new Deputy coordinators positions, I welcome Elena
Paoletti and Anna Barbati; together with Alexia Stokes and myself will be leading the
Division for the next 5 years period. Then I am very proud to let you know that we are
making history in IUFRO since this is the first Division ever in the long history of
IUFRO to have only women coordinators.
Note several changes are taking place for WP officers – I will send a detailed file with
these changes in positions and newcomers after the WC in Curitiba, I know that some
changes will still happen while discussions will take place during the WC
