Climate Change and Forests seminar presentation
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. Awareness of the contribution of deforestation and land degradation to climate change, as well as the potential for climate change to disrupt natural systems, is increasing worldwide.
To help share information and ideas on this important topic, the U.S. Forest Service's Office of International Programs (Washington, DC) is pleased to announce a new seminar series, Climate Change and Forests. The series will feature researchers, policymakers, and land managers addressing topics that explore the relationship between climate change and forest management, both at home and around the world. On October 8, 2008, Dr. Steven McNulty of EFETAC's Southern Global Change Program kicked off the series with a presentation, "The Likely Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Forests and Forest Management."
