Revision as of 13:15, 17 February 2014
The Chair of Forest Inventory and Remote Sensing at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is this year hosting the 4th International DAAD Alumni and Student Workshop on "Ecological and Economic Challenges of Managing Forested Landscapes in a Global Context - Focus: Asia” that will take place in Bogor and Jakarta (16. - 22. March 2014). For more information on the background and history of our workshop series along international conferences see DAAD FD5 Workshop or DAAD FD6 Workshop!
Background
Forests and trees outside the forest play a relevant role in all three great UN conventions (on Climate Change, on Biodiversity, and on Combatting Desertification). The policy processes to implement the measures in these conventions on sub-national, national, regional and international level are extremely complex. And that complexity comes, among other factors, from a blend of different sectoral and national interests, from a large number of scientifically not yet entirely resolved issues and a wide range of different biophysical, social, cultural and political conditions all over the world. It is a challenge for academia to educate the future decision makers (who are our students today) in a way that they are enthusiastic about the overall relevance of these processes – but also about the many details that are to be worked on. And it is a challenge to integrate this education into regular curricula because various dimensions need to be covered in a field that is rapidly further developing. On the other hand, these processes offer a unique possibility to illustrate the important – and sometimes somewhat neglected – science-policy interface. The Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology started in 2010 to implement a new format of what we would call “long-term / sustainable national capacity building”: we organize a workshop on “Forest and Climate” for master-students and professors from partner universities (alumni of German universities)
Guest lectures
The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet on our workshop in Bogor and Jakarta there will be an introductory seminar with 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 high level speakers.
Introduction seminar papers (29.01.2014, Aula am Waldweg, U Göttingen)
The presentations will be held at Wednesday, 29. January 2014 from 8:30 to 13:00 in the Aula am Waldweg. The seminar is open for public.
