Forest management in climate change

 


© Christian Schneider

Changing climate conditions have a noticeable influence on forests. Forest management must make effective adaptations with a very long-term perspective, taking account of climate change. Forests are not only affected by climate change: they also play a key role in adaptation measures and climate protection.
In the 32-page report CIPRA presents the effects from climate change to forestry, formulates its demands and shows good practice examples for climate friendly forest management in the Alps. Healthy, natural forests have to be the response to climate change!
The report exists only in German langue. CIPRA's demands which summarize the report are also available in English.
Additional relevant material on the issue can be found in other language versions of this page.
