How can Europe’s forests meet the challenges of climate change while balancing biodiversity, carbon storage, and sustainable use? This video presents the key results of the INFORMA project, bringing together insights from leading researchers across Europe. Through a unique integration of ecological science, social research, modelling, and policy analysis, INFORMA provides a more integrated and operational understanding of sustainable forest management. Hear directly from the project’s work package leaders as they share key findings on: - Forest ecosystem functions and carbon dynamics - Trade-offs between biodiversity, production, and climate mitigation - The role of people, policies, and regional diversity - Future forest management scenarios under climate change - Innovations in forest carbon certification and monitoring Together, these perspectives highlight a central message: achieving climate-smart forestry in Europe requires better, adaptive, and region-specific forest management, grounded in science and connected to real-world practice. 🔗 Learn more about the project: https://informa-forests.eu/
