An international conference on Tacking climate change: the contribution of forest scientific knowledge will be organised on 21-24 May 2012 in Tours, France.
This international conference will focus on the current state of knowledge on climate change impacts on forest ecosystems, services and activities. It will highlight methods and challenges to mitigate or tackle climate change impacts, both before they arise and once they have occurred. It will show how climate change and forest sciences address the issues facing forest managers.
The conference also provides a forum for stakeholders where the key issues of climate change will be presented and discussed by a panel of stakeholders and scientists working on climate change adaptation and mitigation. 200 to 350 scientists, policy makers, planners, managers, specialized journalists, incl. representatives of a wide range of socioeconomic, ecological and institutional contexts are expected.
