The Paris Agreement sets ambitious targets for climate mitigation, which require transformation of the production and consumption systems that generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mainly due to fossil fuel use. The interaction of forests with the climate system is complex. The scientific literature provides a variety of views on how different forests and forest management options can be adapted to climate change – and there are also divergences in view on how they affect the climate. This report summarizes the discussions from the 2-day international conference Forests and the climate: Manage for maximum wood production or leave the forest as a carbon sink? in March 2018 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry in Stockholm, Sweden. The aim was to facilitate dialogue among experts representing different views related to forest management and climate change mitigation, to help advance scientific understanding, and to identify knowledge gaps and priorities for future research and data collection.

With an expected world population of 9 billion people in 2050, the global need for Food, Fibre and Fuel has become a matter of high political concern. Beyond 2030 the production of “the three F’s” is expected to compete for limited land and water resources.
I oktober 2019 hölls KSLA:s Caseutmaning för femte gången. Nio deltagare tacklade utmaningen som handlade om att arbeta fram en lösning för hur data kan hjälpa människor att göra medvetna val, gärna med koppling till FN:s Globala mål för hållbar utveckling. Här är deras lösningar.
