Forecasting and managing multi-risks in Mediterranean, temperate and boreal forests: comparison between North-American and European approaches: conference proceedings

International audience ; This conference (July 2022, Bordeaux, France) was organized by the FORWARD network, which is an International research network dedicated to "FORest, Wood, mARket anD Society » for the ecological transition through and for forest-wood systems. It focussed on present and emergent risks and their interactions in order to help to produce survey tools for multi-risks management and to elaborate different strategies for risks mitigation in North-American and European forests. One of the major challenges for forest sciences (including ecology, pathology, forest modelling, forest management, wood science, social sciences) are to analyse present and emergent risks and their interactions, to produce survey tools for multi-risks management and to analyse the different strategies for risks mitigation. The first objective of this conference was to give a prospective analysis of knowledge gaps, needs for tools (model, platforms, etc.), the limits of the available multi-risks management tools in regards to the demand of stakeholders (public, foresters, policymakers). The second objective was to compare North-American and European approaches to highlight possible solutions for common difficulties to mitigate multi-risks. This workshop focused on North-American and European forests that represent more than 20% of the world forest area. .
