==Background==
 +
[[file:banner.jpg|thumb|300px]]
 +
Forests and any other trees outside the forest play a central role in the global carbon cycle. Deforestation contributes to about 20% to global greenhouse gas emissions -more than the whole transportation sector.
 +
At the same time, forests house the largest terrestrial biodiversity, contribute to water and soil conservation, provide space for recreation in many industrialized countries and add rural livelihoods in many developed and developing countries alike. Protection and sustainable management of forests has become an increasingly global issue.
 +
And global conventions are now taking place that include forests and their management. Among them are the UN-FCCC, the UN-CBD and the UN-CCD. Along the annual UN-FCCC Conference of the Parties, CIFOR has been organizing [http://www.forestsclimatechange.org/events/forest-day/forest-day-5.html Forest Day] since COP13 in Bali (2007).
 +
 +
Now,  in 2011, Forest Day 5 has been presented in Durban South Africa. Thanks to the generous support from the German Academic Exchange Service [http://daad.de DAAD], the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, [http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/67094.html Chair of Forest Inventory  and Remote Sensing] at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen was able to organize the second student and alumni workshop on "Forests in climate change research and policy: The role of forest management and conservation in a complex international setting".
 +
Our  students participated in a special workshop along the Forest Day in Durban as  part of their graduate course “Tropical and International Forestry”  (TIF). Prior to their arrival in Durban, our students had had a series  of lectures and special visitors in preparation for the complex policy  discussion process on REDD (Reduced Emissions Deforestation and  Degradation).
 +
We organized this student and alumni workshop together with the [http://www.sun.ac.za/english/faculty/agri/departments1/forest-and-wood-science Department of Forest and Wood Science, Stellenbosch University]. We were able to invite professors and students from altogether 21 countries.

==Impressions from last year DAAD FD4 Workshop==
 +
 +
The first international DAAD FD4 workshop took place 2010 along the Forest Day 4 in Cancún, Mexico. We believe that this workshop and the visit to Forest Day 4 was an unforgettable experience for all participants, both in scientific-technical terms and also in terms of international networking. Organization and implementation of this workshop was only possible through the active and comprehensive support by many. Our greatest thanks are due DAAD, inparticular to Mrs. Birgitt Skailes and Mrs. Anke Stahl for their helpfulness and efficient explanation of many important bureaucratic details. We are grateful to MSc Antje Henkelmann for assisting in many organizational matters and to BSc Alina Kleinn for editorial support to finalizing this proceedings volume. MSc Christoph Fischer edited the workshop programme, MSc Philipp Beckschäfer implemented successfully the preparatory video-conferences among all partners and Dr. Wibke Himmelsbach and Prof. Marco Gonzalez from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León UANL in Monterrey did the local organization of the workshop in Cancún which included a lot of logistics – and which worked out perfectly.

 +
The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet in Pietermaritzburg there will be some introductory guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations will give an introduction to the climate change- policy process and the role of forests in this context. The lectures are open to all interested. For those students who are not in Göttingen and for the international alumni participating in our workshop, a comprehensive abstract will be prepared.
 +
We are happy about excellent speakers, and we are looking forward to instructive talks and discussions. Like done in the introductory seminar we will try to broadcast the lectures to interested international participants via telephone conference.

[edit] Background

Banner.jpg

Forests and any other trees outside the forest play a central role in the global carbon cycle. Deforestation contributes to about 20% to global greenhouse gas emissions -more than the whole transportation sector. At the same time, forests house the largest terrestrial biodiversity, contribute to water and soil conservation, provide space for recreation in many industrialized countries and add rural livelihoods in many developed and developing countries alike. Protection and sustainable management of forests has become an increasingly global issue. And global conventions are now taking place that include forests and their management. Among them are the UN-FCCC, the UN-CBD and the UN-CCD. Along the annual UN-FCCC Conference of the Parties, CIFOR has been organizing Forest Day since COP13 in Bali (2007).

Now, in 2011, Forest Day 5 has been presented in Durban South Africa. Thanks to the generous support from the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD, the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, Chair of Forest Inventory and Remote Sensing at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen was able to organize the second student and alumni workshop on "Forests in climate change research and policy: The role of forest management and conservation in a complex international setting". Our students participated in a special workshop along the Forest Day in Durban as part of their graduate course “Tropical and International Forestry” (TIF). Prior to their arrival in Durban, our students had had a series of lectures and special visitors in preparation for the complex policy discussion process on REDD (Reduced Emissions Deforestation and Degradation). We organized this student and alumni workshop together with the Department of Forest and Wood Science, Stellenbosch University. We were able to invite professors and students from altogether 21 countries.

[edit] Impressions from last year DAAD FD4 Workshop

The first international DAAD FD4 workshop took place 2010 along the Forest Day 4 in Cancún, Mexico. We believe that this workshop and the visit to Forest Day 4 was an unforgettable experience for all participants, both in scientific-technical terms and also in terms of international networking. Organization and implementation of this workshop was only possible through the active and comprehensive support by many. Our greatest thanks are due DAAD, inparticular to Mrs. Birgitt Skailes and Mrs. Anke Stahl for their helpfulness and efficient explanation of many important bureaucratic details. We are grateful to MSc Antje Henkelmann for assisting in many organizational matters and to BSc Alina Kleinn for editorial support to finalizing this proceedings volume. MSc Christoph Fischer edited the workshop programme, MSc Philipp Beckschäfer implemented successfully the preparatory video-conferences among all partners and Dr. Wibke Himmelsbach and Prof. Marco Gonzalez from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León UANL in Monterrey did the local organization of the workshop in Cancún which included a lot of logistics – and which worked out perfectly.

[edit] Guest lectures

broadcasting to international students
Prof. Dr. Markku Kanninen, University of Helsinki
Fabian Schmitz, GIZ

The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet in Pietermaritzburg there will be some introductory guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations will give an introduction to the climate change- policy process and the role of forests in this context. The lectures are open to all interested. For those students who are not in Göttingen and for the international alumni participating in our workshop, a comprehensive abstract will be prepared. We are happy about excellent speakers, and we are looking forward to instructive talks and discussions. Like done in the introductory seminar we will try to broadcast the lectures to interested international participants via telephone conference.
