| Streszczenie: | I would like to thank all those who travelled to Wilton Park to work on forestry
and climate change. This really was a working conference, where many
participants gave presentations, chaired workshops and assisted in reporting.
The conference was organized by Forest Research, the Forestry Commission’s
research agency, on whom we depend so much, not only for scientific research
but also for advice at all levels. Peter Freer-Smith, Mark Broadmeadow and Jim
Lynch took the lead in organizing the meeting and in the production of the book
inspired by this conference.
I would also like to thank OECD for co-sponsoring the conference. In the UK
the subject of climate change was often headline news during 2006 and recently
Sir Nicholas Stern’s report The Economics of Climate Change (The Stern
Report) has been published. Commissioned by the UK Government, this report
highlighted an urgent need for action. Thus the timing for an OECD Conference
on Climate Change and Forestry could not have been better. Climate change is
a concern to governments and international organizations across the world, and
this conference helped us to identify the part that forestry can play in addressing
this important global concern |
