Forest climate mitigation and adaptation

Education facts

Code: 4TS021

How climate change affects forestry and how we can adapt forestry to create more resilient forests is a crucial issue. Forests play a vital role in climate work as they absorb and store large amounts of carbon dioxide. Additionally, forest raw materials can be used to replace unsustainable fossil energy sources and materials. This course provides in-depth knowledge on the subject, including insights into how various environmental factors affect forestry, national and international climate policy, and regulations. The course also involves developing adapted forestry plans and calculating the climate benefit of a forest property. The course is designed for students with a bachelor's degree, as well as forest owners and professionals with equivalent qualifications. The course includes an excursion to Sweden-Europe. Lectures will be conducted both on campus and remotely in Swedish and English. Seminars and presentations are also included in the course.
