SUMMARY:Forest Ecosystem Resilience through Biodiversity - Nature's Insurance Policy in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Forest ecosystems in many parts of Europe and worldwide are increasingly affected by a changing climate and increased disturbances. We can expect that certain tree species\, but also entire forest ecosystems will come under threat or may no longer be able to cope with such rapidly changing conditions. \nTo improve the resilience of our forests\, is it enough to rely on an existing set of tree species or to introduce those that we hope will be better adapted to future climatic conditions? Do we sufficiently consider forest ecosystem functioning as a whole\, including biodiversity above and below ground? How can we respond to unforeseeable climatic phenomena in forest management? \nWith this webinar\, we want to reflect upon how we can support forest ecosystems to better cope with current and future climate change impacts. After introducing how forest resilience can be defined and operationalized\, we will investigate the role of biodiversity in forests\, what potential trade-offs are\, and what forest decision-makers and practitioners can do to increase forest ecosystems resilience. \nDon’t miss this discussion and register here.

SUMMARY:Integrative forest management requires integrative solutions: Good practices for engaging different perspectives on forests
DESCRIPTION:How can we manage our forests in the best way – both beneficial for nature and people? How can we integrate different forest functions and ecosystem services\, and address trade-offs in forest management? How can we improve the communication and knowledge exchange between stakeholders who have “skin in the game” and potentially conflicting interests? \nThe European Integrate Network acts within in the triangle of science\, practice and policy. This disposition is one major strength of the Network. During its annual meetings many interesting and innovative examples were presented and visited on how close-to-nature silvicultural concepts and approaches as well as biodiversity conservation measures can be integrated in forestry practice. We have also discussed and presented new integrative and inspiring ways for forest education and training and promoted research initiatives. However\, all these examples and activities have mainly been initiated and discussed within the forestry sector. \n \nBeing very aware of this\, we would like to stimulate with this webinar an open dialogue and mutual learning between different interest groups. We believe that despite different priorities for how to use and protect our forests we need to collaborate more openly for finding joint and integrative solutions for guaranteeing the future provision of the wide array of requested forest ecosystem services facing challenging times of climate change and increasing threats caused by disturbances. \nWebinar objective: With this webinar\, we would like to stimulate a solution-oriented discussion on tested methods and best practice approaches for overcoming silos and integrating the wide range of interests in forest ecosystems.  We look forward to inviting different interest groups to exchange their perspectives\, and “integrating” their perspectives into the activities of our Integrate Network. This way\, we understand Integrate activities as a driver for the development of new concepts as well as a platform to discuss\, monitor and improve applied approaches around truly integrative forest management. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Are climate change adaptation\, mitigation and biodiversity conservation in European forests two sides of the same coin?
DESCRIPTION:With this virtual event\, we follow up on our webinar on the EU Forest Strategy held on 22 September 2021\, where we discussed the pathways for action for strengthening the important role of forests in achieving Europe’s biodiversity\, ecosystem services\, and climate change targets. Questions to be addressed in this webinar are: \n\nHow are climate change adaptation and mitigation linked to forest biodiversity conservation in the EU’s forests\, and what are the major trade offs and synergies?\n\n\nWhat are the best management and conservation approaches to optimise synergies?\n\n\nHow can the EU policy implementation and financing instruments contribute to balancing the trade-offs in the provision of different regulating forest ecosystem services?\n\nIUCN and European Forest Institute have joined forces to produce a series of webinars on Increasing biodiversity and climate change resilience in forests for a successful European Green Deal for the SINCERE project and Integrate Network stakeholders\, to debate key issues related to forests and their biodiversity and ecosystem services\, such as climate change resilience\, circular economy\, health and wellbeing and green jobs. \nThe SINCERE/INTEGRATE webinars bring together scientific experts\, forest management experts\, civil society\, policy-\, and decision makers at EU\, national and local level and aim at triggering the sharing of ideas and best practices for upscaling investment in the natural diversity of our forests in response to climate change\, the biodiversity and health crisis simultaneously. The webinar series also draws on EFI’s and IUCN’s participation in the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance.

SUMMARY:EU Forest Strategy: Strengthening forests for biodiversity & climate change
DESCRIPTION:IUCN and EFI have joined forces to present an open\, high-level webinar and exchange on the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030. The webinar on 22nd September\, organised via the SINCERE project and Integrate Network\, will bring together key stakeholders interested in and contributing to the implementation of the Forest Strategy\, to reflect on the pathways for action strengthening the important role of forests in achieving Europe’s biodiversity\, ecosystem services\, and climate change targets. Please register via Eventbrite here. \nBy bringing together a diverse range of scientific experts\, forest managers\, civil society\, and policy- and decision-makers from across Europe\, the webinar offers the opportunity to explore stakeholder perspectives on the operationalisation of the New Forest Strategy and its implementation at European\, national and local scales. \nThe webinar will address the following questions: \n• What is the potential of the New EU Forest Strategy for incentivising forest governance and management for multiple ecosystem services? \n• How to strengthen support to forest owners to ensure forest resilience and the provision of ecosystem services in the long-term? \n• What is missing\, what is good\, and what are the key elements and processes to turn the Strategy into action? \n• What could be the role of the European Integrate Network in strengthening partnerships for action? \nThe aims of the webinar are to: \n• Facilitate a forward looking dialogue between key stakeholders in the forest\, nature and climate change communities; \n• Provide a forum to bring together diverse scientific perspectives and policy views on the management of the ecosystem services of European forests; \n• Identify opportunities for collaborative action towards implementation of the New EU Forest Strategy. \nThe webinar creates a space for constructive dialogue and joint reflections on future implementation and collaboration within the framework established by the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030\, and in particular its biodiversity and climate change objectives. Participants are invited to reflect on the potential of the Forest Strategy and Biodiversity Strategy to address and advance support for ecosystem services and the integration of biodiversity protection into forest management\, to ensure resilience and productive capacity of European forests. Participants are also invited to discuss the need to reward forest owners for the multiple ecosystem services that forests provide\, as highlighted by the New Forest Strategy. \n\nFeatured image: adege via Pixabay

SUMMARY:Integrate Network Communications Workshop: “Engaging with Media”
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to find out why journalists tend to take certain perspectives when it comes to how we use our forest? Why do they echo specific voices while others remain unheard? Do you want to learn how to communicate better with the media and what makes information newsworthy? \n\n\n \nIn our second Integrate Communications Workshop\, we will focus on “Engaging with Media”. Together with science and environmental journalists\, we will learn how media mechanisms work and what they are seeking to hear from policymakers\, practitioners and researchers. Jointly\, we will also discuss the language to use when communicating with media\, and how you can “pitch” your narrative and engage better with the journalists. \n\n\n \nAhead of the meeting\, you will be asked to develop a short verbal narrative to share with a journalist and the group. The selected participants will receive an instruction ahead of the meeting. The training is part of a series aiming at bringing together a diverse group from forest policy\, forest practice\, nature conservation stakeholders\, researchers\, and journalists to jointly improve their communication skills\, exchange perspectives and learn from each other. \n\n\n \nThe workshop will be closed-shop to enable a safe space for interpersonal interaction. Therefore\, we will only allow 21 participants to register. To make a complementary selection and guarantee we can rely on your participation please send an email with a short “application” (explanation of why you would like to join the workshop and what you are aiming at learning\, ca. 1/2 page) to gesche.schifferdecker(at)efi.int.

SUMMARY:Integrate Network Communications Workshops - Workshop 1: Building a Narrative
DESCRIPTION:How should we best manage our forests? This is the guiding question behind the virtual communication workshop series the secretariat of the European Integrate Network is initiating. Being aware that there is no single answer to this question\, in our first training on “Building a Narrative”\, we would like to engage with you to develop narratives for your proposed solutions and effectively communicate with those who might have different perspectives. The workshop will provide the opportunities for exchanging perspectives and listen to the stories others tell to define the best communications approaches to respond to the guiding question. \nAs a result of the training\, you will gain fundamental knowledge about effective communication and narrative development and learn to communicate more convincingly to different audiences. You will also receive a certificate for your active participation. \nThe training series aims at bringing together a diverse group from forest policy\, forest practice\, nature conservation stakeholders\, researchers and journalists to jointly improve their communication skills\, exchange perspectives and learn from each other. \nAll the workshops will be closed-shop to enable a safe space for interpersonal interaction. Therefore\, we will only allow 21 participants to register. To make sure we can rely on your participation please send an email with a short “application” (explanation of why you would like to join the workshop and what you are aiming at learning\, ca. 1/2 page) to gesche.schifferdecker (at) efi.int. Before applying\, please consider that this workshop will focus on the European context. \n  \n10:30-11:00 Understanding the problem with narrative development \nWhat is a ‘narrative’ and why is it important to respond to the question “How should we best manage our forests?”.  This session will provide a big picture perspective on the power of narrative and storytelling and discuss the challenges with developing a narrative that “works”. \n11:00-12:00 Understanding the differences in perspectives and consider the opposite \nTo go deeper into understanding the challenge we face as a practioner\, researcher and policy-maker in communicating our positions\, we will take a step back to discover what type of different interests and priorities exist and how they influence the way people interpret your narrative. \n12:00-12:30: Break \n12:30-13:30: Building a Narrative from human-centered design approach \nAfter exploring the complexity and challenges with narrative development\, we will explore some of the approaches and tools that can help you formulate a narrative that reaches a wide range of people beyond your ‘usual’ target group. \n13:30-14:00: Reflecting and exchanging experiences \nThe day will end with group reflections and sharing new ideas that emerged from the session to take the next steps beyond the workshop.

SUMMARY:Integrate Webinar: The European Green Deal - What is in it for forests and forestry in times of Covid and Greta?
DESCRIPTION:The European Green deals sets out to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society\, with a modern\, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect\, conserve and enhance the EU’s natural capital. Regarding forests and forestry\, this may have a broad spectrum of implications connected to the various ecosystem services and goods forests provide\, from forest biomass to biodiversity and climate change mitigation\, but also responding to changing societal demands towards forests. In this seminar\, we seek to explore policy visions on the role of forests in the Green Deal\, asking the following questions: \n\n\n\nPresentation by Humberto Delgado RosaPresentation by Andrew DoylePresentation by Georg Winkel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat approach should Europe take/implement on forests in the Green Deal?\nHow to deal with key issues such as climate change\, biodiversity\, bioeconomy and societal expectations\, and also trade-offs between these issues when it comes to integrated forest management?\nWhat is the impact of Covid on the Green Deal in relation to forests?

SUMMARY:Multiple scales for nature conservation in sustainable forest management: integration and segregation
DESCRIPTION:This is the first of two meetings organised by Denmark as Chair of the European Network Integrate. The first one (29-31 October 2019) main topic was Integration of nature conservation measures: scale\, connectivity\, interaction and their effects on biodiversity. The venue was the Rold Forest near Rebild south of Aalborg. \nRelated documents\n\nGeneral information on Danish Chairmanship events\nProgram of 5th meeting of the European Network Integrate\n\nThis was an excellent opportunity to learn from their example and compare the different pros and cons of various models. Denmark is in the process of doubling the state forest area to be set-a-side for biodiversity to a total of 20%. The development in society and climatic changes request us to find a balance between the resources and services our forests can provide. How does Denmark implement integration and segregation of biodiversity conservation in forest policy and management? What are the reflections of research and other European countries? The above focus are crosscutting for two Danish events. Special attention will be given to the following topics: protecting biodiversity elements at forest level\, forest restoration for conservation\, stakeholder involvement\, forests dynamics\, climate change\, succession\, trade-offs. \nPresentations\n\nWelcoming words by Peter Ilsøe\, Danish Nature Agency\nIntroduction to the Integrate Network by Georg Winkel\, European Forest Institute\nDanish Chairmanship by Mads Jensen\, Danish Nature Agency\nIntegrating nature conservation into multifunctional forest by Jørgen Bo Larsen\, University of Copenhagen\nIntegrating conservation into forestry by Adam Felton\, Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences\nRold excursion by Bendt Egede\, Danish Nature Agency\nParticipation in forest planning and nature conservation by Anna Lawrence\, University of Highlands and Islands\nSurvey results by Agata Konczal\, EFI\nDanish stakeholders’ involvement by Mads Jensen\, Danish Nature Agency\nNGO perspective on stakeholders’ involvement on forest management by Torbjørn Eriksen\, Danish Outdoor Council\nBiodiversity monitoring by Georg Frank\, Austrian Federal Research Centre for Forests\nPeople engagement and species reintroduction by Andrew Stringer\, Forestry England\nMarteloscope in Bosco Pennataro by Giovanni Santopuoli\, University of Molise\nClose-to-nature silviculture in Luxembourg by Michel Leytem\, Luxembourg Nature and Forest Agency\nState Forests cooperation with stakeholders on forest management by Anna Żornaczuk-Łuba\, Polish State Forests Enterprise\nForest Monitoring and Management by Krzysztof Sterenczak\, Polish Forest Research Institute\nOpportunities and challenges for integrating nature conservation in managed forest by Agata Konczal\, EFI\nNetwork outcomes by Georg Winkel\, EFI\nNetwork Brochure by Jose Bolaños\, EFI\nINFORMAR and Network Evaluation by Michael Hoppe\, independent consultant

SUMMARY:Discussions on and in the forest: European Network INTEGRATE kick-off
DESCRIPTION:What do you get when you put together forest policy experts from 16 different European countries and the European Commission with scientists and forest practitioners? Lively and insightful discussions\, determination to find new solutions and\, of course\, outings in the forest. \nThe kick-off meeting of the European network “Integrate” took place in Bonn\, Germany\, on 26-27 June. Hosted by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany (BMEL)\, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic\, and facilitated by EFI’s Bonn office\, the event attracted about 50 participants interested in the exchange of ideas relating to the need for successful integration of nature conservation into sustainable forest management across Europe. \nThe foundations of the European “Integrate” network were laid by the lessons learned and outcomes of EFI’s former projects INTEGRATE/INTEGRATE+ funded by the BMEL. These projects explored the scientific basis for integrating nature conservation into forest management\, and established a European network of demonstration sites for integrated forest management. The European Integrate network aims to enable cross-border and cross-sectoral learning related to integrated forest management at the policy level\, offering an active interface between policy and research. \n \nThe kick-off meeting started with an opening from Matthias Schwoerer from BMEL\, Tomas Krejzar from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and Georg Winkel from EFI. The subsequent keynote presentations gave light to some examples of integrating nature conservation into sustainable forest management in Germany and Poland. They also provided insights from research regarding the possibilities\, but also challenges\, to implement integrated forest management in practice. Participants visited forest areas near Bonn to get first-hand experience with a Marteloscope plot\, installed as part of the INTEGRATE/INTEGRATE+ project. \nThe second day allowed participants to find out more about challenges of and possible solutions for integrated forest management in different European countries. Three research projects conducted by EFI’s Associate Members on integrated forest management were presented: the ConFoBiproject (University of Freiburg)\, the InFormed project (led by INRA)\, and oForest (led by the Swiss WSL). EFI Bonn’s new project InForMAr (Integrated Forest Management Learning Architecture)\, was also presented. InForMAr aims to build and maintain a transnational learning architecture between scientists\, policy makers and practitioners with regards to integrated forest management and to understand the current and future ecological\, socio-political and economic driving forces related to this approach at a European scale. \nFrom plans to action – what’s next?\nThe participants expressed their appreciation for the event and their interest in continuing the European Integrate Network initiative. The Czech Ministry of Agriculture offered to conduct the next meeting of the Network in 2018 in Prague. \nEFI Bonn will provide scientific support and facilitate further activities of the network with its InforMAr project\, thus contributing scientific knowledge to an ongoing exchange of European policy experts on the integration of nature conservation into sustainable forest management in Europe. \nMore information\nRead the report of the meeting
