The forest has always had a wide variety of functions to fulfil. For decades, we have differentiated between useful, protective and recreational functions. Since the 1980s, climate change has been looming on the horizon and has since gained in importance and drama, influencing the long-established forest functions.
At the latest since the last three drought summers in a row, the effects on the forest are visible to everyone. Heat, drought and pest infestation are massively affecting the trees, and in many places the forest ecosystem is collapsing. In addition to the predicted economic damages in the billions, the habitat supply and all other natural functions are directly affected and threatened. Our familiar forest image is changing and requires new concepts.
Based on a status quo analysis and from the perspective of nature and landscape, the event will highlight possible approaches for the forest.
