 New
project on forest genetic resources
On 1 June 2006, Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural
Development of the European Commission announced the results of the
first call for proposals for the "Community Programme on the
Conservation, Characterisation, Collection and Utilisation of Genetic
Resources in Agriculture" established by Council Regulation No EC
870/2004.
Successful, short-listed proposals include a
project on forest genetic resources (FGR), i.e. ‘Establishment of a
European Information System on Forest Genetic Resources (EUFGIS)'
It is coordinated by IPGRI with six partner institutes in Austria,
Denmark, France, Slovakia, Slovenia and UK. The project will be
implemented in close collaboration with the European Forest Genetic
Resources Programme (EUFORGEN) and it is expected to be launched in
autumn 2006. Click here to read more.

 Climate change and forest genetic diversity:
Implications for sustainable forest management in Europe
Paris, France, 15-16 March 2006
Summary report
Climate change is predicted to increase average temperatures
by
2–4°C in Europe over the next 50 years and cause considerable changes in
regional and seasonal patterns of precipitation. This will alter the
environmental conditions to which forest trees in Europe are adapted and create
additional challenges for forest management, with consequent impacts on the
economic and social benefits derived from forests.
