Be part of the roundtable discussion to hear more about how BIFoR's unique Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE) facility can help inform European decision-making on forest resilience, carbon sequestration and nature-based solutions, supporting progress towards 2030 and 2050 climate targets.

By attending, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain insight into world-leading forest and climate research that informs global climate models and IPCC assessments.
  • Explore how robust scientific evidence on forests can strengthen EU climate, environment and agriculture policy, as well as education and youth engagement.
