Incentives for Forest Ecosystem Services in Europe: connecting science, practice and policy
SINCERE – NOBEL Final Conference
28 – 29 September 2021, Online
This international conference is organised jointly by two European-wide research and innovation projects, SINCERE and NOBEL.
We present a comprehensive overview of the situation for Forest Ecosystem Services (FES) and related mechanisms in Europe and the associated science, practice, business and policy considerations.
We bring together research and practice partners, and policy and decision makers to discuss FES supply and demand in Europe and beyond.
The conference combines the findings and experiences from both projects, based on practical lessons learned from designing and implementing innovative mechanisms for enhancing FES provision, on further developing and upscaling these mechanisms and on supporting related policy development in Europe.
In three closely interlinked sessions, we will discuss FES from different, complementary perspectives. Session 1 focuses on the scientific knowledge and findings from both projects, providing the conceptual and research-based foundations for creating innovative mechanisms for FES provision. Session 2 concentrates on practical learning and experiences from the planning, design and implementation of 16 innovation action cases. Session 3 focuses on the development of a business case for enhancing FES provision.
