Policy to Practice: Realizing EU Forest, Climate, and Biodiversity Goals

Europe’s forests are vital for addressing today’s environmental challenges—protecting biodiversity, tackling climate change, and advancing sustainable forestry. Your expertise is essential to shaping solutions that help realizing the EU's ambitions under the European Green Deal Industrial Plan as well as the EU Forest and Biodiversity Strategies for 2030.

We are delighted to invite you to the final conference of the European research projects BIOCONSENT and LEARNFORCLIMATE:

From Policy to Practice: Realizing EU Forest, Climate, and Biodiversity Goals

About the Event

This conference gathers policymakers, forest professionals, researchers, and environmental stakeholders from across Europe to share research results, exchange ideas and explore solutions for sustainable, climate-adapted forest management.

• BIOCONSENT provides decision making support to balance biodiversity conservation, sustainable forestry, climate adaptation and mitigation, and water protection, with insights from case studies in Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the EU-27.
• LEARNFORCLIMATE supports learning to achieve multiple objectives while adapting to climate disturbances (e.g., droughts, storms, fires), with case studies in Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and Sweden.

What to Expect

• Cutting-edge research findings from both projects, covering policy, legal, and management trade-offs.
• Keynotes by experts from the European Commission, European Parliament, and Member States.
• A policy-science roundtable with policymakers and researchers.
• Interactive discussions and networking opportunities to share ideas and build collaborations.
