DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE develops common strategies at the pan-European level for its 46 signatories on how to protect and sustainably manage their forests (www.foresteurope.org). The idea of this High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) 2023 is based on the Bratislava Ministerial Declaration 2021 as well as the Forest Europe Work Programme priorities and follows guidance provided by the General Coordinating Committee (GCC) to react to emerging issues promptly. \nThe current scenario we are facing at the national and international forestry level leads to a critical debate: How can Sustainable Forest Management maintain and enhance resilience in your forest\, considering social\, economic\, and environmental factors? \nThis event will be hosted by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Berlin having a hybrid character. FOREST EUROPE high-level policymakers responsible for forests and forestry and high-level representatives from FOREST EUROPE observer organizations and other interested stakeholders will be invited to this meeting. The interested public can join this event in Berlin or online. \nThe host of this event is the German Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture\, Mr. Cem Özdemir. Our panel discussions in Berlin will bring together ministers and other high-level policymakers with representatives of environmental organizations\, forest practitioners\, researchers\, youth\, and landowners to provide a space promoting shared understanding and synergies in the pan-European region and beyond. \nThe event will have two consecutive panel discussions where participants can interact directly with high-level speakers during the debate. To set the scene\, renowned researchers will present their latest findings. \nCheck our High-Level Talks website to stay updated.

Research and the assessment of forest damages and disturbance indicate an urgent need for improving monitoring and reporting. \nTherefore\, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)\, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture\, Regions and Tourism will jointly organize a symposium on assessing forest damage and disturbance in the UNECE region in Vienna\, Austria from 29-30 September 2022. \nThe symposium aims to encourage the exchange of ideas\, experiences and opinions as well as raise awareness about the need for the assessment of forest damage and disturbance. It will discuss new ideas for consistent\, reliable and comprehensive information on forest damage for management and policy decision making. \nParticipants will include national and international policymakers\, forestry related authorities\, forest owners and managers as well as experts from technical and research facilities. The symposium will include keynote speeches\, presentations and interactive discussions around the following thematic sessions: \n\nInternational forest damage/disturbance reporting and assessment\nNational forest damage/disturbance monitoring in the UNECE region\nNew opportunities and methods for forest damage/disturbance monitoring\n\nThe symposium is organized as a hybrid event at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna.

But how resilient is higher education in forestry? How does teaching and learning about forests address or respond to crises? \nIt could be said that higher education in forestry only really developed as a result of a crisis; in response to the devastation of forests and the great demand for wood for mining and smelting\, Hans Carl von Carlowitz had already described a way out of the crisis in 1713. His idea of sustainable forestry had to be taught in order to become accepted in forestry practice. Since the found150ation of the first forest universities in the 19th century\, forestry education has faced many crises that had left their impact on learning and teaching in forest sciences and related fields of study. Even today we are confronted with multiple crises like climate change\, the Corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine. These crises set new frameworks\, (re)define teaching topics\, and influence society\, forests\, forestry\, and the universities themselves. However\, crises often also open up new perspectives for us\, allow better alternatives to come into focus\, and thus become a window for new opportunities. Crises often are the origin of improved practices and products. \nCrises can occur at various timeframes (short-\, medium-\, long-term) or scale (local\, regional\, global). At the global level\, climate change and the Corona pandemic in particular have influenced forestry teaching for several years. Transnationally\, we are experiencing environmental hazards as well as economic\, demographic and armed crises. Locally\, we are dealing with criticism of forest management and timber production practices. At the micro level\, we are repeatedly facing new problems and challenges in teaching. These crises affect us as individuals and as a society and can require changes in issues\, organization\, infrastructure\, and resources. Are we addressing these adequately? \nDraft Programme\nTuesday: 28th June 2022\, 12:00 – 17:30. Conference opening\, Welcome addresses\, Keynote speeches\, Technical Session \nWednesday: 29th June 2022\, 09:00 – 18:30. Technical Sessions\, General Assembly \nThursday: 30th June 2022\, 08:30 – 18:00. Field visit to the forests of County Wicklow URL:https://foresteurope.org/event/silva-network-2022-conference-higher-forestry-education-in-times-of-multiple-crises-crises-as-framework-conditions-challenges-and-triggers-for-improvements/ LOCATION:Berlin CATEGORIES:resilience ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://foresteurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/UCD_1440x600.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="SILVA Network":MAILTO:silva-dublin@ucd.ie END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
