The researcher Martí Boada of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) will participate in XIV World Forestry Congress WFC that will be held in Durban, South Africa, from 7 to 11 September 2015. The congress serves as a platform where governments, academics, civil society, the private sector and people who have an interest in forestry come together to discuss and share information and knowledge on forests and forestry, and find ways of addressing key issues for sustainable development. The theme for the WFC2015 is ‘’Forests and People: Investing in a Sustainable Future’’. This will complement other side events, exhibitions, launches and networking planned during the Congress.

Dr. Martí Boada will take part in the session “Improving governance by building capacity. Connecting forests and people – building capacity to communicate”.  Never before has the importance of good communication for the forestry world been so clear.  Therefore, a panel of experts will talk about the need to foster better understanding of sustainable forest management, promote the benefits that forests bring to society, and build meaningful and constructive dialogue.
