Project
Project code: 28WC507801
Contract period: 15.09.2017
- 14.11.2020

The aim of the project is to support the small- and medium-sized privately owned forests in the conversion of the current forests into climate-adapted, low-risk forests. For this a cost-effective inventory system will be developed and knowledge regarding climate-adaption of forests will be provided in bundled form as consulting tools to the forestry cooperatives.The forestry cooperatives will thus be able to offer their members advice and services for the development of climate-adapted low-risk forests. In consideration of the climate mitigation strategies with an increased forest growing stock and efficient carbon storage in the forest product chain, the management guidance through the forestry cooperatives is intended to improve the management and productive function of the forests to sustainably benefit the forest owners. Phase 1 : Design of the climate-adaptation consultancy model - Creation of service- and consulting concept - Determination of resource requirements - Cost and price calculations - Coordination with services of forest administrations Phase 2 : Design, development and test of consulting tools - Requirements for forest inventory and database - Developing an appropriate inventory method - Definition and development of the forest database and information system - Making existing knowledge on climate Adaptation available - Determination of map design and content for consultation Phase 3 : Pilot project implementation in three sample regions - Implementation of the inventory and IT system in the forestry cooperatives - Setting up forest databases - Creating consulting tools - Management advice on climate-adapted forest management Phase 4 : - Evaluation Phase 5 : - Presentation of results, events, publications
