Results will be directly used to develop a policy brief including recommendations for policy makers. During the event participants will have the chance to become part of a network\, establish strong partnerships across pan-Europe to prevent and better control disturbances caused by storm events. \nThe workshop is part of FOREST EUROPEs work towards the implementation of a pan-European forest risk knowledge facility (FoRISK) to support forests adaptation to changing climatic and site conditions as well as to enhance the resilience and mitigation potential of forests at a pan-European level. \n\nLoading… URL:https://foresteurope.org/event/joint-workshop-living-with-storms-towards-resilience-and-adaptation-to-forest-disturbances/ LOCATION:Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg\, Germany\, Wonnhaldestraße 4\, Freiburg\, Baden-Wüttenberg\, 79100\, Germany CATEGORIES:forest risk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://foresteurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/SM-card-Storm-workshop.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230530 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230602 DTSTAMP:20240923T092512 CREATED:20230308T105600Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230626T123700Z UID:23074-1685404800-1685663999@foresteurope.org SUMMARY:Joint Workshop: Managing Biotic Threats in Forests - Lessons Learned from Bark Beetle Calamities DESCRIPTION:czcExtreme heat events and droughts have intensified due to climate change\, and bark beetle outbreaks have reached unprecedented levels in conifer forests challenging traditional management approaches in production forests and leading to increasing public and political awareness. The need for coordinated international actions and a more comprehensive management framework also recognizing the social dimension of forest disturbances is growing. \nTherefore\, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and FOREST EUROPE are organizing a joint workshop in order to exchange knowledge on the best practices and allow for the adoption and transfer of innovative solutions while establishing cooperation and strong partnerships across pan-Europe to prevent and better control biotic threats such as bark beetle outbreaks. \nThe workshop is part of FOREST EUROPE’s work towards the implementation of a pan-European Forest Risk Knowledge Facility (FoRISK) to support forest’s adaptation to changing climatic and site conditions as well as to enhance the resilience and mitigation potential of forests at a pan-European level. \nCheck here the programme of the workshop. \n\nPreliminary Agenda \nThis joint workshop is scheduled to take place from May 30 to June 1 2023 in Breznice\, Czech Republic\, and will be hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. \n30 May 2023\n–  Arrival of Participants \n–  Transfer to the venue from Prague airport/city center \n–  Small refreshment \n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Welcome dinner \n31 May 2023\n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Lunch \n–  Excursion \n–  Dinner \n01 June 2023\n–  Wrap up session \n–  Lunch \n–  Transfer to Prague Airport with an estimated arrival at 14:30.

The meeting will take place virtually on 19 January 2022 from 1.30 PM to 5 PM and 20 January 2022 from 9 AM to 12.30 PM CET. \nThe preliminary agenda includes a comprehensive exchange on the concept paper (to be circulated before the meeting) with the focus on required added-values and the way forward for the work towards the Forest Risk Knowledge Mechanism. Furthermore\, the main findings of the questionnaire (“Workstream 2 – Pan-European Forest Risk Facility”) will be presented to the participants for further consideration on how to incorporate the feedback of Forest Europe signatories and observers into the foreseen forest risk knowledge mechanism. In addition\, recent scientific findings of forest resilience studies as well as information on ongoing activities in this area by Forest Europe will be presented.
