About
The links between forests and climate are the subject of the 2nd edition of the Living Forests evening with Le Cerf Vert.
Faced with climate change, what solutions for tomorrow?
The French forest continues to grow, but its condition is deteriorating just as much with rising tree mortality. How can we strengthen the robustness and resilience of our forests? What forest management choices should be made? What impacts on living organisms and our economy?
To discuss this, we will have the chance to count on the participation of Maxime Blondeau, WWF France, Canopée, and Coeur de Forêt.
