By 2050, drastic changes are expected in population growth, climate change, biodiversity loss, globalization and a growing world economy, putting tremendous pressure on forests and the societies who depend on them. The IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm 2024 aim to help to streamline  forest research agendas, furthering dialogues and cross-sector cooperation, and promote the multi-functionality of forests and their services.

FIRE-RES will attend this unmissable event by coordinating one of the Technical Sessions falling under the Theme 1 “Strengthening forest resilience and adaptation to stress”.

The Session is titled “T1.16 Implementing fire-resilient landscapes” and will explore new methods and tools aimed at creating fire-resilient territories, which include forest management options, social and formal norms, economic mechanisms, advanced decision support technologies. Key questions to be addressed include how to maintain forest resilience, make society-forest-risk relations viable and affordable, and manage the provision and demand for ecosystem services like water, biodiversity, and wildfire nexus. The activity will include the following poster and technical sessions:
