Description

Description (EN):

IMPRESS aims at accumulating, critically analyzing and distributing information on the potential climate change adaptation measures across Barents sea region. We aim to establish efficient information sharing web-based tool in the area of sustainable forest management of high latitude forests. To reach this goal IMPRESS will rely on a expertise of project members in forest management and outreach activities, which will be supported through a cooperation with major players on the regional timber market and evaluation of emerging approaches in Russian forestry, which draw heavily on the experience of Scandinavian management. IMPRESS will analyse and secure forest landscape sustainability under various management and climate regimes, develop online tool for sharing information of emerging sustainable forest use practices and promote for an active hearing between the forest stakeholders.
