Today the situation is changing, due to new challenges presented by climate change, biodiversity loss, and competing demands for multiple eco-system services - including health and recreation, clean water, and bioenergy. A fundamental question is whether to protect forests for biodiversity and facilitate a quick-acting carbon-sink, or to keep extracting wood from forests during the transition to a carbon neutral future, as a substitute for fossil fuels and a longer-term carbon sink.
In this digital event we discuss how these circumstances have created a green dilemma that stems from having alternatives pathways for forest-use, and the need to address the different challenges and goals of local- and global-level policy makers, as well as other stakeholders.
Scientists from different disciplines bring knowledge and insights to this discussion hosted/organized by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). The conversation was led by Lotta Möller.
The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has its main locations in Alnarp, Umeå and Uppsala. SLU is certified to the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
