European and global forests - which way for the future?
-----------------
A two-day conference on European and global forests - which way for the future? was held at the European Parliament in Brussels on 6-7 September 2011. The first day of the conference was organised by the INTERREG IVC project FUTUREforest. A report on the results of the three-yearproject was presented. The second day of the conference was held by the Forestry subgroup of the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development. The conference brought together international and European actors. The meeting focussed on the challenges of sustainable management, conservation and development of forests in Europe and worldwide against climate change. The conference sought to: exchange best practices and solutions for forest conservation and management; raise awareness on key obstacles related to deforestation such as illegal logging and respect of populations' rights; reaffirm the link between the fight against poverty and deforestation
