TEAKNET Partner Event in the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests, 23-27 October 2018, Beijing, China
The International Congress on Planted Forests is an international academic conference that is being organized by the International Union on Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) with the technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United nations through its Planted Forests Programme. Three Congresses have been held so far. The 4th ICPF aims to investigate the contribution of planted forests to green development in the context of global changes. The 4th ICPF focussed on an interface between the scientific community, the wider society and government policy initiatives related to planted forests.
