For over a century, Weyerhaeuser has been at the forefront of sustainable forestry and land management. Working forests like those managed by Weyerhaeuser play an important role in climate change mitigation, from #renewableenergy development to #carboncapture and storage. Through a collaboration with Carbon Direct, Weyerhaeuser is developing robust #improvedforestmanagement credits that align with rigorous scientific benchmarks. This collaboration helps to ensure that their projects deliver meaningful and equitable climate benefits.

Authored booklet on Climate Change and Forestry! I need to post this on world forest day 21st March but delayed but it's better to post rather than not to..., it's crucial to emphasize the significance of trees as climate regulators. They absorb nearly one-third of our emissions, playing a vital role in mitigating climate change. Let's continue reforestation efforts and sustainable forestry practices for a greener, more resilient future. #WorldForestDay #ClimateAction #Forestry #Sustainability #climatechange Adnan Arshad Humair H.

It’s going to take all of our efforts to get to a greener, more resilient future – and managing trees and forests sustainably is a key step along the way. But the language of sustainable forestry can be difficult to speak and understand, leaving many people out of critical global discussions. In the lead-up to #IUFRO2024, sharpen your language with these sustainable forestry terms:👉 https://bit.ly/3KAzutD #Trees4Resilience

The Devastating Impact of Climate Change: A Case Study of the Harz National Park From 1995 to 2020, Germany's Harz Forest underwent a drastic transformation, clearly visible in satellite imagery. This change highlights the urgent need for climate action and sustainable forestry practices. Key points: 1. Spruce monoculture increased vulnerability 2. Bark beetle infestations exploded due to rising temperatures 3. Over 40% of the forest has been impacted check the full story: https://shorturl.at/6aorW As professionals, how can we contribute to more resilient ecosystems?

🌳🌏🌲In the week of the “International Day of Forests,” we would like to highlight the crucial role of trees and forests for our planet. With this in mind, we are proud to highlight our support for pioneering initiatives: "Wood Saves Climate," "Forestry for the Future," and "Growing Forests, Growing a Future." These programs underline our commitment to sustainability and creating a greener and more sustainable future. 🌲🌳"Holz rettet Klima" is an initiative of the German Wood Industry Council (DHW). It focuses on the importance of wood as a sustainable, renewable raw material and shows how important wood is in the fight against climate change. Using wood from responsible forestry, we help reduce CO2 emissions and promote a low-carbon economy based on renewable resources. 🌲🌳In Canada, our commitment to the "Forestry for the Future" campaign exemplifies Mercer is commitment to educating future generations. As part of this Forest Products of Canada (FPAC) initiative, we focus on innovative forestry practices that make timber production sustainable, promote biodiversity, and maintain ecosystem services. This approach ensures that our forests are preserved for future generations and make an essential contribution to the environment's health. 🌲🌳"Growing Forests, Growing a Future" is dedicated to the reforestation and protection of forest areas. We actively contribute to improving air quality, creating habitats for wildlife and strengthening nature's resilience to climate change by supporting forest owners in planting new trees and restoring degraded areas. We consistently work to improve our environmental performance, counteract climate change and promote resource-efficient and socially responsible forest management. In this way, we can make an important contribution to the global sustainability goals. We invite you to join us on our journey towards a more sustainable future. Join us in protecting and restoring our vital forest resources. In this article you will learn more about the three pillars of forestry: https://lnkd.in/eYXeyeWq  #InternationalDayofForests #Bioproducts #SustainableSolutions #Forestry #Innovation #TreesAreTheKey #WoodSavesClimate #ForestryForTheFuture #GrowingForestsGrowingAFuture

🌲Join us at the International Forest Business Conference 2024 for a fascinating presentation by Dr. Bruno Kanieski da Silva from the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources on the "Impact of Carbon Offset Programs on Timber Supply: A Study Case on the US South."🌲 Understanding the intricate relationship between #carbonoffset programs and #timber #supply is crucial as the world grapples with the urgent need to address climate change. Dr. Silva's research delves deep into this dynamic, shedding light on how carbon offset programs impact timber supply from #sustainable #forestry practices in the U.S. South. This presentation promises to be a game-changer for anyone involved in the forest industry, environmental conservation, or climate policy. Dr. Silva's expertise and insights will provide invaluable knowledge for the forestry and impact investment community. More about #IFBC2024 and the expertise of Dr. Bruno Kanieski da Silva you can find at: https://fba-events.com/ Mark your calendars, and we look forward to seeing you there!

🌳 Sustainable Forestry Terms You Should Know: Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Ecosystem-based Adaptation is a nature-based solution that uses biodiversity and ecosystem services to help communities adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. Swipe through the carousel to learn more about EbA: how it works, why it matters, and why it's a win-win for people and the planet. ➡ ➡ Explore other forestry terms here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gq-qTkdX #Trees4Resilience #IUFRO2024

Precision Forestry and Climate Change Mitigation: By examining tree density, growth rates, and species composition, these solutions pinpoint areas that require active management interventions. This targeted approach promotes accelerated growth and increased carbon uptake, driving positive environmental impact. Let's channel our resources where they can make the most significant difference in carbon sequestration. Together, we can create a greener future!
