✨ Today we introduce Norrbotten County, Sweden, one of the five case studies of #NEVERMOREproject! ❄️ It represents the #borealregion, as a climate change hotspot, which is undergoing a significant transformation towards #climateneutrality. Among the sectors most affected by #climatechange in this ecosystem, there are infrastructures, forestry, agriculture and reindeer husbandry. The goal is to develop digital tools that can help predict and evaluate the effects of climate change and various measures on society. 👀 To know more on this case study, watch the video:  https://lnkd.in/d_aWVq2b Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK | CARTIF | GEEDS UVa | RINA | Instituto de Fomento de la Región de Murcia | Centre for Social Innovation | SIMAVI Software Imagination & Vision | NCSR "DEMOKRITOS" | IVL | Energikontor Norr | CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici | alda* - European Association for Local Democracy

The planetary boundaries concept, developed by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, is a useful framework for assessing risks of irreversible environmental changes. It also serves as a useful reminder of the interplay between #climatechange, the loss of biodiversity and #naturalcapital. At Nuveen, Martin Davies , Skye Macpherson and the rest of the Natural Capital team are responsible for developing strategies that can protect, improve and restore natural capital. In this context, agriculture and forestry strategies offer TIAA and other insurers access to low-carbon-intensity assets needed to achieve their net-zero objectives. In addition to natural capital benefits, investment in timber is supported by strong market fundamentals, historically attractive portfolio benefits and access to the voluntary carbon credit market.

Last week our CEO Anaïs BACH, moderated the round table on "Reforestation: restoring ecosystems to strengthen our resilience to climate hazards” at the third edition of the Time to Change Forum in Deauville.     During the session, Anaïs and the panel of experts shed light on the ongoing degradation of our ecosystems and the urgent need to restore these vital areas to strengthen our resilience in the face of #climatechange and #biodiversity loss.    The discussion underscored the crucial role of finance and climate investments in supporting natural capital through impact forestry and high-quality nature-based solutions, aligning closely with our core focus at hummingbirds. 🌲  These open dialogues are necessary to foster collaborative efforts to these challenges.

Strong Nordic - Baltic contribution at IUFRO World Congress Forests & Society Towards 2050. Forests are crucial for the total rebalancing of the usage of natural resources. Solving the challenges calls for a holistic approach including scientists, policymakers, industrial parties and civil society actors. Dialogues must be action oriented and include youth, indigenous people and minority representatives to ensure diversity of perspectives. To showcase what is needed from researchers and policymakers towards 2050, forest stakeholders from the Nordic and Baltic countries made a strong contribution to the Stockholm Congress Statement. https://lnkd.in/d_XtN875 The final day panel discussion, Decisive Roles of Forests Towards 2050, underlined the spirit of the congress statement. The Secretary General of the Nordic Council Karen Ellemann said that good politics are science based, formed by holistic approach and through democratic discussions. This message was well-received by other panelists, Minister Sari Essayah, Maa- ja metsätalousministeriö/Jord- och skogsbruksministeriet/Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, State Secretary Dan Ericsson, Ministry of Rural Affairs and Infrastructure of Sweden and Angeline Musili, Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to the Kingdom of Sweden and the moderator, General Director, Johan L Kuylenstierna Nordic Council of Ministers supports Nordic forest initiatives and research such as the Nordic Forestry Research (SNS), one of the arranging partners of the conference. #Forest #Bioeconomy #Sustainability Kristian Ersbøll Berg Poulsen, Unni Kløvstad, Sara Kolka, Torfi Johannesson, Nordic Forest Research (SNS) Jonas Rönnberg Sofie Andersson

As someone deeply passionate about forest bio-economy, innovations, and circular economy, today holds special significance as we celebrate World Forestry Day on March 21. This year's theme, "Forests and innovation: new solutions for a better world," resonates with my core interests in leveraging sustainable practices for a greener future.🌿 🌲 Reflecting on John Muir's words, "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness," I am reminded of the profound connection between nature and innovation. Embracing this connection, I am inspired by recent discussions on the potential for technological advancements to transform the forest industry and track the existing innovations. 🤝 On this World Forestry Day, let's pledge to support forest conservation by championing innovative solutions, promoting sustainable practices and embracing technological advancements, we can pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable future. 💚 Together, let's make a difference and nurture our forests for generations to come. 🌍💚 🌳 #WorldForestryDay #ForestBioeconomy #CircularEconomy #Innovations 

🚨News: Black Stork tracking 🦅 Data collecting is key to identifying high-risk areas for bird populations. That's why, within #SL4B LPO France in partnership with ACETAM (Black Stork Ringing Program) & ONF (Office National des Forêts) 🌲 (French National Forestry Office) tagged 38 juvenile Black storks in France in 2023 🇫🇷 to enhance our knowledge on the species & the impact of power lines 🔌 🐧 So far 6 mortalities have been recorded due to interaction with grid infrastructure. In 2024, this action will be replicated in Belgium 🇧🇪 & a second year of monitoring in France.

The ES in #ForES stands for ecosystem services but which type of forest do we consider to provide 'better” ecosystem services, natural forests or plantations? Post-doc Francesco Martini asks how to develop resilient forests, capable of delivering multiple ecosystem services?https://ow.ly/fciI50QTQ10
