Why? During its presidency of the European Union (second semester 2008), France wishes to contribute to the debate on the roles of forests and their products in a post-2012 climate regime.
What? The roles of the forest-based sector and perspectives for the future will be discussed under three main headings:
- forests as carbon sinks,
- wood-based bioproducts as carbon pools and substitutes to materials with a high energy footprint,
- wood-based sector as a source of bioenergy. How? Invited keynote speakers in plenary sessions, voluntary contributions in parallel sessions or poster sessions.
