The LIFE RedBosques-Clima project, coordinated by the Interuniversity Foundation Fernando González Bernáldez for Spanish natural areas, aims to achieve greater adaptive capacity to climate change in forests by promoting forest management with conservation objectives (promoting maturity, increasing heterogeneity and biodiversity) under the umbrella of the concept of “Ecosystem-based Adaptation”.

The LIFE RedBosques_Clima webinar, titled "Forest adaptation to climate change from a Mediterranean region perspective", will also feature the participation of GoProForMED, which will share insights and initial findings on the management of Mediterranean forests within the project framework.

The webinar, scheduled for February 18, 2025, from 10:00 to 12:30 CET, will be an important opportunity to explore strategies and innovative solutions for managing Mediterranean ecosystems in the context of climate change.
