Forestry will face major challenges in the coming decades - above all climate change. Climate change will have a serious impact on forests. However, forests can also contribute to climate protection: trees and forests bind climate-damaging carbon dioxide as they grow and produce pure oxygen in the process. Products made of wood bind carbon over their entire lifespan. Building with wood from sustainable forestry is therefore an active and direct contribution to climate protection. What to do? Dilemma or opportunity? Mr. Hu-bertus Wörner (Head of the Bavarian Forestry Administration), Prof. Stephan Birk (TUM Wood) and Mr. Alexander Gumpp (ProHolz Bayern) will discuss this issue.
