As our society transitions from a fossil fuel-dependent environment to a circular bioeconomy, forest landscapes are expected to take on a more significant role. Natural, well-managed forests are essential for supplying the rising demand for wood-based products around the world as well as for climate change adaptation and mitigation, water quality, and water availability.
Programme elements for training
The programme consists of five parts, all of which are based in your country or a nearby region:
- Initial consultation and a part-time online course
