IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress 2017

Venue

Konzerthaus Freiburg
Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 1, 79098 Freiburg

IUFRO prides itself on being one of the world’s oldest international scientific organizations. But the 125th Anniversary Congress in Freiburg will not only celebrate the accomplishments of the past. It will also establish a dialogue on the future of forestry and forest research. These discussions will focus on globally pressing topics such as how to enhance the contribution forest research will need to make towards mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, providing water, creating income and employment, and improving the quality of life. Issues such as how changes and disruptions in society and technologies are likely to impact on forests and people in the future will also be discussed.
