Présentation
For the past 10 years, scientists, technical advisors, teachers and trainers, public and private forest managers, have been gathering within AFORCE network to share and transform their knowledge into operational terms, and reassemble it into useful decision making tools for practitioners, forest advisors and managers. The network already prepares a new program for the 2020-2025 period.
The AFORCE network organised on 2 and 3 April in Montpellier (France) a symposium presenting the latest projects for the 10th anniversary of the network.
The AFORCE network, the only French network dedicated to forest adaptation to climate change, organised a symposium on 2 and 3 April 2019 in Montpellier (France), in a region which is heavily threatened by the evolutions of the climate and where the actors' mobilization is already very strong. This event was supported by the French Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the inter-profession France Bois Forêt, the National Rural Network, Europe, Occitanie region and Montpellier SupAgro. The results of the work carried out by the network during the past 5 years to provide support for foresters to prepare forests to climate change and to anticipate its effect on forests and on the forest-based sector were presented.
Approximatly 150 persons among a highly diversified public of researchers, development agents, technical advisors, forest managers, foresters and policy makers concerned by climate change shared their expertise on the subject. The European foresters (Andorra, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, United-Kingdom and Serbia) already involved in previous international workshops of the network were also there.
